About Gumma
Khorezm-style gumma are fried Uzbek pastries enclosing a juicy minced-lamb filling. Malika Sharipova connects this rendition with her mother’s cooking and her father’s preference for eating the pies hot, alongside green tea.
Onion and cumin seeds season the lamb, with ground pepper adding another spice note. The thin, unleavened pastry has a lightly seasoned character that keeps the meat filling prominent.
The pastries have a folded half-circle shape and sealed edges, with golden surfaces. Their savoury juices and hot serving make this a substantial snack, while green tea is an optional accompaniment.
