Kesme

Noodle and Dumpling Dishes

Kesme, also known as erişte, is a type of egg noodle found across various Central Asian countries and in Turkish cuisine, where it is called erişte or kesme in modern standard Turkish. The name comes from the verb meaning to cut or slice, referring to how the dough is sliced into noodles. Kesme is traditionally a homemade dish rather than one found at restaurants or cafes, and in Turkey it is generally eaten in winter; it is made from flour, egg, water, salt, and milk worked into a dough that is rolled out, cut, and dried.
