Māstāba, or mastava (Cyrillic: Мастава, Tajik: Мастоба), is a traditional Uzbek and Tajik soup. Sometimes it is called "liquid pilaf".
The soup is always prepared using the frying method typical of Central Asian cuisine, similar to some types of shurpa, and fundamentally differs from the latter in the use of rice. Mastava can be prepared only from rice and vegetables, but it is customary to cook the soup in meat broth.
