Chapshoro is the word of  Gilgit language in which Chap means meat and Shoro means bread. We can also call it as pizza of North. 

Peach and walnut oil is used for it's frying but it is not mandatory. As we all know very well that mountainous regions are cold and at that time having freshly fried hot and spicy chapshoro has its own charm.
