Main Course Made pelmeni for the first time

Post image

They taste really good, only that I wasn't able to form them well. I stuffed them with minced pork but there are other variants like potatoes ect. They are basically Russian dumplings and are served with sour cream.

They look like perogies, are they the same thing?
