Do you know when the baursak appeared and how it is made? The name itself comes from the Kazakh words "bauyrmasu, bauyrlasuga, bauyr”, which means "striving for unity, kinship, brother". Baursak is considered a traditional dish of the Kazakh nation. But the ingredients of dough differ depending on which area the recipe belongs to. It is for this reason on the eve of the Nauryz holiday, on March 16, the " Ақжүніс " women's club organized a competition "Бауырсақ FIESTA". Such an unusual holiday has been held for several years in a dormitory number 1 of the Karaganda Medical University. Its aim is to attract students' attention to the national culture and traditions, to improve the skill of cooking the national dish bauyrsak. This event was held in the form of three stages of the competition. It was attended by 6 very talented and active students of our university, who presented themselves and cooked baursaks according to their regions’ recipes. I place was taken by 1st year student Makembayeva Aruzhan, who represented the Turkistan region, II place was awarded to the representative of the South Kazakhstan region Bastarbek Arailym and III place belongs to Zhannat Zholaushiyeva, who represented the Akmola region. The winners were awarded with diplomas and presents.
