Orama

Noodle and Dumpling Dishes

Orama is a steamed dumpling dish found in Central Asia, especially among Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Bashkir and Mongolian cooking traditions. Its name comes from a word meaning to roll or to wrap, describing how a thin sheet of flour and water dough is spread with a filling of minced potato, minced meat and animal fat, then rolled up and coiled before steaming. Pumpkin or other vegetables are sometimes added to the filling as a variation.
