What is it?

[edit]

This article has no citations and no articles to go along with it. I live in Xinjiang, I've traveled throughout the province extensively, and I have many local friends from many Xinjiang locales and many different ethnic groups, and none of them have ever heard of a dish called pamirdin. The name of the dish is also strange - It seems to invoke the Pamir mountains in the southwest of Xinjiang along its borders with Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan.

There is, however, a dish that is especially common in the south of Xinjiang (I've encountered it most frequently in the city of Atush, near Kashgar) called kazan nan, with resembles a flat meat pie with a mutton and onion filling. Carrots or pumpkin are sometimes used in the filling. Sometimes this dish is called gosh nan, but gosh is a general Uyghur, Kyrgyz, and Kazakh term meaning meat and there are various types of meat-filled nans that bear this name in Xinjiang culture. Here's a picture I found on the internet: http://oasis-tarim.com/foods/contents/menu/fullimages/tarim_kawa_nan.jpg --222.80.175.11 (talk) 04:17, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
