This week's posts are going to be some delicious stuffed flatbreads from different part of the world. Yes this week's theme for blogging marathon is going to be Stuffed flatbreads from different countries. When its comes to stuffed flatbread, the only dishes comes to our mind is obviously Indian style of stuffed flatbreads like Stuffed Naan, stuffed rotis etc. But varieties of stuffed flatbreads from other Countries do exists eventhough they are quite unknown to us. However again Google master helped me a lot to find out three different stuffed flatbreads. My today's post for this week's theme is from Azerbaijan, Qutab is an Azerbainjanian stuffed flatbread. Easy to make this flatbread can be stuffed with different fillings. The most popular Qutab is with cheese and herbs filling, but i want to prepare mine with meat filling to finish our dinner as a complete meal. Hence i stuffed this Azerbaijan flatbread with a meat filling, i opted for a minced mutton though beef is usually used in this flatbread. Trust me, this pan cooked flatbread with meat filling makes an excellent, satisfying lunch or dinner depending upon how you serve them. Everyone at home enjoyed this Qutab without any side dish as the filling i went for stuffing were very much prefect to enjoy these flatbread. This flatbread's meat stuffing is prepared with grounded meat along with either sour pomegranate paste/ fresh pomegranate seeds or else with pomegranate molasses. Am sure if i add pomegranate in filling, my family wont even touch this flatbreads, hence i replaced it with teaspoon of tomato paste. Recipe Source: Here & Here For Dough: 2cups All purpose flour Salt Water for kneading For Filling 1/4kg Minced meat (mutton/lamb) 1 Onion (big & chopped) 1tsp Cumin powder 1tsp Coriander powder 1tsp Dried mint 1/4cup Pomegranate seeds/1tbsp Pomegranate molasses (i used tomato paste) Salt Pepper powder Oil Take the flour, salt in a bowl, add the water gradually and knead everything as a soft dough. Cover the bowl and keep aside for half an hour. Meanwhile heat enough oil in a pan, add the chopped onions and saute for a while. Add the tomato paste and cook for a while. Add the minced meat and saute everything until they changes their colour. Add the salt, pepper powder, cumin powder, coriander powder and cook everything in simmer until the mixture gets well cooked. Finally add the dried mint and toss everything well, put off the stove and let the mixture gets cool completely. Now divide the dough into 5-6 medium sized balls. Dust them with flour and roll as thin large circles or as like Indian rotis. Drop enough filling to one half of the circle and spread it well, now bring the other half of the circle to close the stuffing. Press the edges together nicely,keep aside. Continue the same process with the remaining dough. Meanwhile heat a pan, once the pan gets hot, drop the prepared flatbread and cook in medium flame until they gets cooked. Dont use oil for cooking. Enjoy warm with salads. Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing this BM#86.

a truly unique and delicious salad from Azerbaijan
This creamy dish combines two of the Azeris’ favourite things (soup and yoghurt), so it’s no wonder it’s considered a national dish. It is often served chilled in summer, gazpacho-style, with the tangy herbs and yoghurt providing a refreshing flavour. But in winter, it’s served piping hot, and thanks to its rich creaminess and nourishing rice, offers about as much comfort in a bowl as you could possibly wish for.
