One of the most popular dishes, which along withsamsa, shawarma, khachapuri, khinkali, etc. belong to the eastern, Central Asian cuisine, and the cheburek also became. The caloric content of all of them, by the way, is very high, but the taste is worth it. Cases and cafes selling these nourishing and inexpensive snacks can be found in any city, crowded place, because they are popular and in great demand. They can conveniently and quickly grab a bite on the road, which is so important for people constantly engaged in work. Chebureks, perhaps, at least once tried everything, because few people can resist a hot appetizing pie with juicy meat or other filling in a crispy fresh test.
The only thing that can stop a person,who wants to buy a cheburek, caloric content. Indeed, this patty is not from the category of dietary dishes. Despite the fact that the dough for cheburek is used without yeast, and the filling can be lean, it will still be quite high-calorie. The fact is that traditionally the Turkic and Mongolian peoples who invented this dish fried it on animal fat (mutton, as a rule). And now it is accepted to replace it with ordinary vegetable oil. It is necessary to understand that the cheburek literally bathes in hot oil during cooking, because only in this way it is possible to achieve its proprietary crispy golden crust.
So, the calorie content of a roasted cheburek is on averageis 240-270 kcal per 100 grams of dish, but much depends on the composition and amount of the filling. Sometimes they contain 450, and even 600 calories. Quite a bit, but for a hearty snack is the most. And if there is a dilemma, when you want to eat a cheburek, but the diet prohibits all fatty and fried in oil, it is worth trying to cook it yourself in the oven, smearing the dough with an egg to make it brown. This way you can reduce the caloric content of the pie almost twice, because it is due to the vegetable oil, which is soaked in a cheburek, it is considered harmful to the figure.
In this article I would also like to considerseveral types of chebureks cooked with different fillings, and then determine if the caloric value of one of the most popular dishes of Central Asian cuisine varies greatly, depending on the chosen product for filling the dough.
Let's start with the classics and find out what is the caloric valueCheburek with meat. The difficulty lies in the fact that the meat of different animals varies in terms of protein and fat content. Considering this, it can be said that the least calories are chicken chicken (225-250 kcal). If you use ground beef or lamb, then such pies will contain about 270-300 kcal. Naturally, they all can differ in size, amount of minced meat and onions in snack, so the figures are approximate. Cheburek, the highest calorie content (up to 430 kcal), will contain inside the pork minced meat, which, as a rule, has more fat than protein.
Now we will find out the caloric content of a cheburek with cheese -the second most popular stuffing. But you need to understand that there are countless different varieties of this dairy product, and for each caloric content will be its own. Also, many mistakenly suggest that if the filling is not meat, then the cheburek will be more modest in terms of calories. However, the same cheese is sometimes more nutritious than meat or poultry. If, for example, to take the usual Russian hard cheese for cooking, then one ready-made cheburek with it will contain 260 kcal, and popular chebureks with cheese and greens - no less than 310 kcal. Delicious oriental pies are also prepared with melted cheese, and it is worth acknowledging that it turns out to be an insanely delicate and unusual cheburek, the calorie content of which is quite acceptable (215 kcal).
No less nutritious potato and mushroomvarieties of this dish (265 and 275 calories, respectively). But such fillings are often combined with eggs, cheese, rice, then the declared figure can be doubled. Most of all in terms of calories pleases cheburek with cabbage: it is surprisingly only 165-170 calories, so you can try it on your diet without a twinge of conscience.
To summarize, it can be said that chebureks are difficult to attribute to useful food, because when frying them on oil, all the positive properties of the filling disappear and it becomes severe for the stomach.
But these pies are so fond of us that their caloric content is of little concern to anyone. After all, the main thing is to know the measure, then the beloved, even if not always useful food will not cause harm and extra pounds.
