Turkmenistan
Turkmenistan’s food is built around desert Turkmen cooking: tamdyr breads, camel-milk chal and hearty mutton soups. Look for Palaw (turkmen pilaf of rice, mutton and carrots cooked in kazan), Dograma (festive soup of shredded bread, mutton and onion) and Chorek (round tamdyr bread, sacred daily staple). Turkmen rice with mutton and carrot cooked in a kazan; the wedding version is made in cauldrons for hundreds.
