Cooking national food for the international day!!

For the International day I made Qutabs.  Qutabs are the traditional Azeri food.  By making them I developed new skills because before I never made Qutabs.  I found the recipe on the internet and bought all of the products needed for making Qutabs.  I needed meet,  green vegetable and also pumpkin because I wanted to make three different types of qutabs.
The most challenging part of cooking was to make a dough and rolling it.  After the dough was ready I put the cooked ingredients into it and Qutab was  already ready to be cooked.
After it was ready I was looking forward to bring it to school and see if teachers,  parents and classmates like it.  It turned out to be well and I was happy that I had an opportunity to show people in the school one type of my national cuisine.
Most of the people who tried Qutabs asked me about the special ingredients which was put on top of it. I explained about the ingredient called "Sumax",  which is used not only in Azeri cuisine but also in most of the Middle East countries.
