The same dough recipe is used for wildly different fillings across Dagestan's dozens of ethnic groups — a single flatbread that changes character from village to village.
Chudu is a thin, round pie of unleavened dough filled with a mix of meat, herbs, pumpkin, or cheese, pressed flat and cooked on a dry griddle until lightly browned, then brushed with butter and cut into wedges. Markets in Dagestan sell it warm, stacked in tall piles for quick lunches.
Why it's made this way: Dagestan is home to dozens of distinct ethnic groups, and chudu's fillings shift from community to community, making the dish a genuine reflection of the republic's food diversity.
