Pirashki can be an afternoon snack or a lunch. Pirashki's main ingredients are beef and flour. Although beef is crucial in making a Persian style pirashki, some people replace it with soya meat which makes it healthier and if preferred the milk can also be replaced with soy milk. Pirashki contains high amounts of phosphorus, selenium and vitamin C.
About one pirashki or 4.3 ounces (123 grams) of it has 252 calories.
