In a hot pot meat is fried until it is red. Then to the ready wheat water is poured immediately and boiled slowly for 1.5–2 hours. After this step is completed, it should be mixed without stoping. If the water evaporated before the wheat gets ready, hot water should be added in small portions. Once Halim’s wheat is crushed and meat became thinner, its salt isnadjusted, the fire is reduced and it is steamed for 2–3 hours. The meal is served on a plate and sprinkled with pepper and lavender leaves on its face. |
