Chalap or shalap or chalob (Kirghiz; Kyrgyz: чалап, in Kirghiz; Kyrgyz pronounced as /tʃɑlɑp/; Uzbek: chalob, in Kirghiz; Kyrgyz pronounced as /tʃɑlob/; Kazakh: шалап|translit=shalap, in Kazakh pronounced as /ɕɑlɑp/), also marketed as Tan (Kirghiz; Kyrgyz: Тан, in Kirghiz; Kyrgyz pronounced as /tɑn/) by Enesay (Kirghiz; Kyrgyz: Энесай), is a beverage common to Kyrgyzstan,[1] Uzbekistan,[2] and Kazakhstan. It consists of qatiq or suzma, salt, and in modern times, carbonated water.[3] The Shoro beverage company markets chalap as "Chalap Shoro" (Kirghiz; Kyrgyz: Чалап Шоро).
In Uzbekistan it is part of rural culture which originates from nomadic traditions. In Uzbek cuisine it includes vegetables, giving it the appearance of a cold soup.
