Frequently Asked Questions About Cheese Peruhi
What is cheese peruhi?
Cheese peruhi is a dumpling-like dish made by enclosing a cheese filling in dough and cooking the pieces, usually by boiling. It is associated with Circassian cuisine, and its shape and filling can vary between family and regional recipes.
Is cheese peruhi the same as ravioli?
No. Cheese peruhi and ravioli are both filled pasta, but peruhi belongs to a distinct regional tradition and is commonly served boiled with butter or yogurt. Ravioli recipes and sauces vary widely and are not specific to Circassian cuisine.
Where does cheese peruhi come from?
Cheese peruhi is associated with Circassian cooking and is made in parts of Turkey with Circassian communities. There is no single fixed recipe: families may use different cheeses, dough shapes, and toppings.
What cheese is used in cheese peruhi?
A crumbly cheese that can be enclosed without making the dough wet works well in cheese peruhi. Recipes may use curd-style cheese, lor, or çökelek; drain moist cheese first so the filling does not leak through the dough.
How do you make cheese peruhi dough?
Cheese peruhi dough is made by mixing flour with water and, in some recipes, egg, then kneading it until smooth and rolling it thin. Recipes differ, so add the cheese filling only after the dough is rolled and cut.
How do you know when cheese peruhi is cooked?
Cheese peruhi is cooked when the dough is tender and the filling is hot. Boil the pieces in plenty of water and lift one out to check; cooking time varies with the size and thickness of the dumplings.
What is cheese peruhi traditionally served with?
Cheese peruhi is often served hot with melted butter, and yogurt is another common accompaniment. Keep toppings simple so they complement rather than overpower the cheese filling.
Can you freeze cheese peruhi?
Yes, freeze cheese peruhi uncooked. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer until firm, then transfer them to a sealed container; cook them straight from frozen in boiling water so they are less likely to stick together.
Can you fry cheese peruhi?
Yes. Boil cheese peruhi first, then briefly fry it in butter for a browned exterior. Frying it without boiling may leave the dough undercooked, especially if the dumplings are thick.
How should leftover cheese peruhi be stored and reheated?
Refrigerate leftover cheese peruhi in a covered container once it has cooled, keeping yogurt or sauce separate when possible. Reheat it gently in a pan with a splash of water to soften the dough, or warm it in the microwave.

What is Cheese Peruhi?
Cheese Peruhi is a Turkish dumpling-like dish: small pieces of dough are folded around a savoury cheese filling and boiled. It is associated with home cooking in parts of Anatolia, particularly the western Black Sea region. The dumplings are tender, with a mild, salty centre, and are usually served hot, often with yoghurt and melted butter; herbs or chilli flakes make a welcome finishing touch. The dough makes them a carbohydrate-forward meal, while the cheese contributes protein—about 9.1 g per 100 g. For a lighter serving, use a modest amount of butter and add plain yoghurt alongside.
