Chebureki

The dough is rolled thin enough to blister and bubble in hot oil, trapping a pocket of steam and juice inside that can scald an impatient first bite.
Chebureki are large, half-moon turnovers of thin unleavened dough stuffed with minced meat and onion, deep-fried until the surface blisters into golden bubbles. Street kiosks across the Caucasus and southern Russia fry them to order and hand them over piping hot, wrapped in paper.
Why it's made this way: Chebureki originated with the Crimean Tatars, but the dish spread widely through the Caucasus and became one of the most common fried street snacks across southern Russia.
