Hanum (or khanum, khanym, hanon – various spellings) – is not only the one name of the fare. In the Fergana valley it is called urama, which is translated as "bundle" or "wrapped", on the method of cooking Uzbek hanum, but in the Andijan region this dish is called hanum, like in Tashkent.
Generally, Uzbek hanum on stuffing and cooking technology is very similar to familiar manti. In part this is a fair point, especially as the recipes of Uzbek hanum and manti are somewhat similar.

Yet Uzbek hanum is hanum. This dish is original. The filling for Uzbek food hanum is different: vegetables or meat. There are also differences in the cutting of the filling. For example, in Tashkent the stuffing for hanum is often cut into small strips, and in the Fergana Valley - cubes.

For the filling we need onions (about three medium heads), potatoes (two or three pieces), meat (500 - 600 gr.), 45 g. of sheep fat (for juiciness), salt, black and red pepper and to taste.
For the filling we will take onion (two small or one large), tomatos (two pieces), herbs: dill, parsley, onion to taste, garlic (two or three pieces). You can add coriander. And here's another little trick: while cooking Uzbek hanum it is necessary to use (zira) cumin - the highlight of Uzbek dishes!
How to cook the stuffing for Uzbek hanum? We need a deep bowl in which we crumble onions, salt it and mix. We add julienne potatoes to the onion and stir it again.
Now let’s make the filling.

Legend about hanum:There is a legend of the origin of this dish. It is more like a joke, but nevertheless. One Uzbek woman knew of her husband's return from the war. Her joy gave way to concern and sadness - her husband liked manti very much.
The woman really wanted to meet her husband with the delicious treat, but physically she could not be in time to make manti, and then she simply unrolled a large cake and wrapped stuffing in it. And so hanum was born.
