Chebureki
Limited nutritional benefit
Deep-fried half-moon turnovers filled with ground meat and onion.
Chebureki are large half-moon turnovers of thin unleavened dough filled with ground lamb or beef, onion and a little water, then deep-fried until blistered and crisp. They are high in fat, both from the meat and from the oil the dough absorbs, and the dough adds refined carbohydrate. Treat them as an occasional snack; frying at a steady 180C and draining them on a rack limits the extra oil.
