The dough is kneaded in boiling water and it turns out strong and plastic. Garlic is added to products in two ways – a granular product interferes with the dough, and fresh – in the filling. Cakes are formed in the form of a flat snail, which is formed from a thin roll. Products can be given any fantasy shape. They can be pan fried or baked in the oven. The second option will turn out to be more dietary.
