Where it comes from

Gösh means meat, and gosh nan is nan with meat inside. It's made across the region, but Hotan is often named as its home, and its versions are said to be the thinnest and crispest.

It's cooked in a flat pan or on the tonur floor, turned once, and cut like a pie to share.

How it varies

Pan-fried
In a little oil on the stove, the common way at home.
