Loksha / Lokša

Loksha used to be one of the most common side dishes. It wasn't as ordinary as bread and it wasn't as fancy as cake. It would be eaten as it is, perhaps with some sour milk or kefir and as a companion to many other main dishes .... There is another recipe for loksha, made with potatoes. Something like this.

Lokša v minulosti bola jedeným z najčastejších jedál. Ale nebola tak obyčajná ako chlieb a nebola tak nóbl ako koláč. Jedla sa tak ako je, snáď s kyslým mliekom, alebo kefírom a spolu s mnohými inými jedlami ... Iný recept na lokšu je so zemiakmi. Asi takto.

Loksha

400 g all purpose flour
210 ml kefir or sour milk or buttermilk
1 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate
1 teaspoon salt
100 g farmer cheese (optional)
oil for frying

Knead together all the ingredients until smooth. Add more liquid, or flour if needed.
Divide dough into 7 pieces, roll into bolls, roll balls of dough out into a thin circle, 3-4mm thin.

Heat the pan on high heat with a small amount of frying oil and when oil starts to smoke, toss loksha in. Stir-fry for 1 minute or until brown. Turn over and fry the other side.

Loksha should be eaten fresh.

Na panvici rozohrejte malé množstvo oleja na vyprážanie a keď olej začína dymiť, vhoďte lokšu, opečte cca 1 minútu, alebo kým nezhedne. Obráťte a opečte druhú stranu.
