About Chapshuro
Maria Nasir records this chap shoro recipe from the women running Khabasi Café at Altit Fort in Hunza. Her beef selection encloses cooked minced meat between two rounds of whole-wheat dough, sealed around the edge.
Onion, tomato, garlic and red chilli flavour the filling, with coriander leaves offered as an optional addition. Apricot oil is the selected fat for the skillet and the accompanying dip.
The pie cooks on both sides beneath a lid and has a dry filling inside its bread casing. It is served warm, either whole or sliced, with the oil alongside.
