These tiny fried patties come from the Perm Territory. Made of custard dough, they are filled with finely chopped game, lamb, poultry, vegetables, radish, honey, — or just anything juicy. Some of the broth they contain is bound to get sprinkled ("sikat") once you take a bite from being so thoroughly stuffed with finely chopped filling. One more possible explanation is that the name originated from "sekat", which is the Russian for "chopping finely".
