Fried shurpa

Cookinero 31 Jul 2025

Shurpa is a simple dish according to the technology, but it takes time. The products are simmered over the fire for a long time, resulting in a rich and thick soup. There are two cooking options: boiled and fried shurpa. In the first case, the products are boiled immediately, in the second, they are pre-fried, then filled with water and boiled. Shurpa is especially tasty when fried in a cauldron. You can cook shurpa from different types of meat and vegetables. There are two main requirements for the dish: only fresh meat and lots of spices.
