You should provide recipes — or descriptions at least. I Googled “Tajik Kurtob” and learned nothing.
Charles,
Kurtob is made with bread strips and a kind of dried and then reconstituted yogurt, along with onions and other goodies. It’s really tasty!
In Afghanistan they also eat dried yogurt (kurut), but when I ate it there it was in very (very) dry chunks the size of big pebbles that one gnaws on. It’s very salty and remarkably nice.

Turkish juice on the table… interesting 🙂
