Kalduny or kolduny (Belarusian: калдуны́ Russian: кoлдуны́ Polish: kołduny Lithuanian: koldūnai used in plural only) are stuffed dumplings made of unleavened dough in Belarusian Lithuanian and Polish cuisines akin to the Russian pelmeni and the Ukrainian vareniki. In Slavic languages the word means “magicians” or “sorcerers” but it is unclear how the word became associated with the dish.
