Mekis are part of the traditional Bulgarian cuisine. This dish is a type of pasta that is prepared from pre-kneaded dough and then fried in hot oil. It is important to leave the dough to rise so that the soft ones become more owls, and hence tastier. The more the dough rises, the tastier they will become.
