About the dish

Khuushuur is a savory Mongolian pastry that is traditionally filled with a mixture of ground mutton and onions, but there are a few variations that include beef, garlic or peppers, as well as other vegetables. This crescent-shaped pastry is usually deep-fried and is meant to be eaten by hand. It is mostly enjoyed as street food, but it is also served in local restaurants, where the order usually includes four pieces of khuushuur accompanied by lettuce or pickles.
