Kazakhstan's most popular dish is called Plov or Pilaf. It is a hearty rice dish that is cooked with meat, usually lamb or beef, and vegetables such as carrots, onions, and garlic. The dish is flavorful, with a mix of savory spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Plov is often served at special occasions and gatherings in Kazakhstan.
Another popular Kazakh dish is Beshbarmak, which translates to "five fingers." It consists of boiled horsemeat (or sometimes mutton) served with thin noodles and a side of finely chopped onions and herbs. This dish is believed to have originated from the nomadic tribes that once roamed the steppe, and its form - a chunk of meat meant to be eaten with hands - makes it easy to consume on the go.
Rounding out the top three is Lagman, a soup made from handmade noodles and meat, typically served with a side of sour cream. Lagman can feature various types of meat, such as beef, lamb, or chicken, and is often garnished with fresh herbs for added flavor. This soul-warming dish is particularly popular in the winter months when comfort food is craved.
