Dushbara
Also known as: Düşbərə
Tiny Azerbaijani lamb dumplings served in a clear saffron-scented broth.
About Dushbara
Dushbara is an Azerbaijani soup of very small meat-filled dumplings in broth. This profile fixes the lamb version, with lamb and onion inside thin egg dough and a clear lamb broth scented with saffron.
The broth is savoury and gently aromatic, with saffron adding a warm floral note. The lamb filling is rich and peppery, while fresh mint provides a cool herbal contrast at serving.
Tiny folded dumplings sit throughout a clear golden broth. Their wrappers are tender and delicate, enclosing small juicy centres rather than forming large, dough-heavy parcels.
