Uzbek tortillas with onions in a frying pan

Heat the water - not much, the water temperature should be about 35 degrees Celsius.

Put 2/3 portions of salt in warm water and stir until it completely dissolves.

Sift flour into a large bowl. Next, add water with salt dissolved in it and mix the entire contents of the bowl with careful movements. Knead in this way a tight, but at the same time elastic dough. If kneading in a bowl is inconvenient, you can transfer this process to a large cutting board or kitchen table.

After kneading the dough, divide it into two equal parts, which, in turn, wrap with cling film. This will prevent the dough from drying out and the formation of unpleasant crusts on its surface. Set the dough aside - it should "rest" for about half an hour.

While the dough is "resting", prepare the onion filling. To do this, peel the whole onion from the husk, rinse, wipe and finely chop into cubes. Add the remaining portion of salt and a little ground black pepper to the chopped onion and mix.

Melt margarine in a water bath or in a microwave.

After the dough has lain for half an hour, unwrap the food film and divide each piece into 2 more parts. In total, you should get 4 blanks for tortillas.

Take one of the pieces and roll it out into a large thin circle. From above, liberally lubricate this circle of dough with melted margarine. Then spread the onion filling evenly over the dough and roll it into a thin roll. Next, roll the roll itself into a spiral into a circle. Roll out the tortilla again with a rolling pin to seal the filling and shape it. Do this with each piece of dough, smearing with melted margarine, rolling it with the filling, and then rolling it into a flat cake.

Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat it and put the tortilla with onion filling. Fry the tortillas one at a time over low heat, covering the pan with a lid. It is best to serve such tortillas with herbs and vegetables.

They can also be served as an independent dish with vegetables and sour cream - it turns out very tasty!

Bon appetit!
