 Gastronomy

Most dishes in Turkmenistan are similar to those of other central Asian countries. Though the country is a vast uncultivated desert, the local cuisine offers several vegetarian dishes. Treat yourself to plov, mutton mixed with rice and assorted with dry raisins, vegetables (onions, carrot), and spices (cumin, coriander...). Enjoy shashliks or kebabs; small mutton, beef, chicken or chicken liver kebabs, often served with raw onion; mantys, a sort of large vapour-cooked ravioli; laghman, spaghetti broth mixed with mutton, vegetables and spices. Also enjoy the large plain flat round breads sold in every street or market and served well with soups or shashliks. Quench your thirst with tea, green or black.
