Chap shoro

Chap shoro/shuro is originally cooked on firewood, chap refers to the meat and shoro/shuro is the resulting product which is formed of ground meat and dough. My observations say that the steamed and small version of chap shuro is dumpling and the deep fried version of chap shuro is kachori.

Hunza bread is considered a vital food item for breakfast in Hunza homes. It leaves one full for almost 6-8 hours. It is made with wheat flour and sometimes one portion of maize flour is added for extra flavour and texture. The Hunza bread is baked in an earthenware pan which is buried in hot ashes. It is usually baked at night and served in the morning with salty tea.
