Breakfast: құрт (Kurt) – Dried Yogurt Balls

Breakfast құрт (Kurt) are salty, tangy balls of dried yogurt, traditionally made for long journeys. At MUNCH CLASSES, you’ll learn how to strain, salt, and shape kurt for preservation and flavor.

Kurt is a nomadic innovation—lightweight, nutritious, and long-lasting. The saying “Құрт жегеннің күші көп” (“He who eats kurt has great strength”) reflects its role as a travel companion and survival food.
