Tatar and Bashkir national dish

About this dish

Echpochmak, ocpocmaq, ochpochmaq, ochpochmak, uchpochmak, oechpochmaq, uchpuchmak, ucpucmak or treugolnik is a Tatar and Bashkir national dish, an essential food in Tatar and Bashkir culture. It is a triangular turnover, filled with chopped meat, onion and potatoes. Echpochmak is usually eaten with bouillon or with tea. Echpochmaks have been cooked for centuries by nomad Turkic people. Lamb, and, sometimes, horse meat was used to make a triangular pie. An opening on the top was used to add broth immediately before eating which made it a hot meal. This made cooking in the field fast and easy. For most of the Soviet period, much of the Tatar cuisine including echpochmaks was removed from public catering due to regulations.
