Frequently Asked Questions About Goshnan
What is Goshnan made of?
Goshnan is a Turkmen meat-filled pastry, usually made with dough wrapped around minced meat and onion. Recipes can vary in their seasoning and filling, but the meat-and-dough combination is what makes it distinctive.
How is Goshnan traditionally cooked?
Goshnan is traditionally cooked by frying the sealed meat-filled pastry in oil. Keeping the filling from becoming too wet and closing the edges firmly helps prevent it from leaking while it cooks.
Where does Goshnan come from?
Goshnan is associated with Turkmenistan and Turkmen cuisine. Meat-filled fried pastries exist in several food traditions, but Goshnan is a regional dish with its own name and place in Turkmen cooking.
Is Goshnan the same as chebureki?
No, Goshnan and chebureki are not the same dish, though both may be meat-filled fried pastries. Their dough, shape, filling, and regional traditions can differ; Goshnan is specifically associated with Turkmen cuisine.
Is Goshnan fried or baked?
Traditional Goshnan is fried, which gives the pastry its characteristic browned exterior. Some home cooks may bake it as an alternative, but baking changes the texture and makes it different from the usual fried version.
What is Goshnan usually served with?
Goshnan is usually served hot, with a fresh salad, pickles, or a yogurt-based side. These accompaniments balance the rich meat filling and make the pastry part of a fuller meal.
What meat is used in Goshnan?
Goshnan is commonly filled with minced meat, often lamb or beef, along with onion. The exact meat depends on the recipe and household, so there is no single filling used in every version.
How do you stop Goshnan from opening while frying?
Seal Goshnan firmly and keep the filling away from the edges before frying. Press the seam closed all the way around; excess moisture in the filling can also make the pastry more likely to split.
Can you freeze Goshnan?
Yes, cooked Goshnan can be frozen once it has cooled. Wrap or pack the pieces separately so they do not stick together, then reheat them in an oven or pan to help restore a crisp exterior.
How can you make Goshnan lighter at home?
You can make Goshnan lighter by baking it instead of frying and using less oil in the filling. Baking is a variation rather than the traditional method, and the pastry will not have quite the same fried texture.

What is Goshnan?
Goshnan is a Turkmen fried pastry, usually made by folding dough around a savoury minced-meat filling. Recipes vary, but the filling often includes onion and seasoning, and the sealed pastry is cooked in oil until browned.
It is best served hot, when the outside is crisp and the centre remains soft and savoury. In Turkmenistan it can be eaten as a substantial snack or part of a meal; elsewhere, it pairs easily with a fresh salad or yogurt and makes a filling lunch. Its dough and frying give it a notable energy content, while the meat contributes protein. Add vegetables on the side for a more balanced plate.
