Step into a traditional courtyard filled with history, where a local family welcomes you like a guest, not a tourist. Learn how to prepare Qurtoba, a simple yet deeply cultural dish made from qurt (dried yogurt) — a taste of true Central Asian life.

Begin with a traditional tea ceremony and enjoy a table full of dry fruits, nuts, and sweets. Get an introduction to Bukharan culture and lifestyle from your hosts.

Next, learn step-by-step how to make Qurtoba. Discover what qurt is and how it’s made. Break and prepare qurt, create the perfect Qurtoba base, balance the taste (salty, sour, creamy), and learn the traditional serving style.

To make the experience richer, see how to make a simple traditional side dish or salad, watch a bread (non) preparation demo, and learn the secrets of everyday Uzbek home cooking.

After cooking, sit in the cozy courtyard and enjoy freshly made Qurtoba, tea, and warm conversation in a real family atmosphere.
