Things to know about Fitchi Recipe
Fitchi originated from another Turkmen pie called ‘Ishlekli’ that is baked in hot sand. It became a popular street food in the 1970s. Originally the size was much larger and Turkmen added a lot of onion to it. But now it’s mostly baked in a 10 cm (4 inches) pan. You can use a tart pan if a round Fitchi pan is not available. It makes a perfect hot breakfast or snack. Fitchi is an easy-to-cook food with only mild seasoning. But it has delicious and juicy meat that’s cooked with animal fat. Cooked in a clay oven or not, Fitchi is absolutely a treat for those looking for authentic recipes of traditional central Asian foods.
