Ingredients
½ pound Ground Beef
½ Onion puréed
½ tablespoon Sea Salt plus more to taste at the end
½ teaspoon Black Pepper plus more to taste at the end
½ cup Uncooked Basmati Rice
1 Egg
1 gallon 3.8 liters Doogh (Middle Eastern yogurt drink) If you can’t find this from your local Middle Eastern or Persian grocery store then take plain yogurt and mix with water until it reaches the consistency of milk. And add a big pinch of salt to this if you're making it from yogurt and water, since there is always salt in doogh.
1 large bunch Cilantro rinsed
1 large bunch Parsley rinsed and thick stems removed
1 large bunch Green Onion or Persian leeks rinsed and just the roots removed
15 oz Garbanzo Beans 1 can, rinsed (or if using dry, soak overnight before rinsing)
15 oz White Beans 1 can, rinsed (or if using dry, soak overnight before rinsing)
2 Heads of Garlic cloves peeled and sliced thickly
Instructions
In a food processor, add the cilantro, parsley, and green onion/leeks and chop well. You can definitely chop by hand but of course, it’s not as easy. Set aside.
Combine the ground beef, onion, salt, and pepper by hand. Set aside.
Add the uncooked rice to a small bowl and add the egg to it. Whisk well. Set aside.
Add the Doogh (yogurt drink) to your biggest pot as it can overflow in the first steps if you aren’t watchful. Stove is off at this time. And as mentioned, if you don't have doogh, simply take plain yogurt and mix with a little water until you get it to the consistency of milk.
Add the rice and egg mixture to the doogh in the big pot. Mix with a wooden spatula and turn on the stove to high heat.
Stir the entire time until after it reaches a boil (~20 minutes). Once it boils, continue stirring for 2 more minutes, then turn the heat down to medium. At this point you can stir occasionally.
Next we will add the rest of the ingredients. Make sure nothing is cold going into the soup.
Little by little while stirring, add the chopped cilantro, parsley, and leeks/green onions.
In your palms, ball the beef mixture into small meatballs about the size of a marble. As you form them, drop them into the soup. They will start to pop up and float when they are cooked.
Give a gentle stir with your spatula.
Slowly while stirring, add the rinsed white beans and garbanzo beans.
Allow to simmer for a few minutes and add the garlic a few minutes before serving. To intensify the garlic flavor, add it in, give the soup a stir and serve about 1 minute later. For a more mellow garlic flavor, add it in, allow the soup to boil for a few minutes and simmer on medium/low until you’re ready to serve.

[@raymac_694]

I'm a Filipino and I worked in Meshkin shahr, East Azarbaijan during the Shah's reign. Our Iranian neighbor gave us this soup and I loved it. Thanks for the video and I'm gonna try it but without the beef balls. I hope my family will like it also.

[@Honestandtasty]

The little meatballs are a good addition for taste and nutrition but of course make it as you wish. That’s so interesting that you lived there and had this dish!

[@lifeofyooms3026]

Add cooked lentils, reserve half herb mixture without pureeing ..add this to the aashe-dough... I grew up in a rafsanjan and kerman❤

[@Honestandtasty]

What an interesting variation. So different from the Ardebil way, but sounds yummy as well.

[@holulu777]

I am from Ardebil and my Mom was making the best Dowga. She also added half cup of flour.

[@shabnamk5697]

She is from Azerbaijan/ Ardebil . ( north western of iran) not Azerbaijan country. .!!!

[@sarahbehrendt7477]

Iran was forced to cede its Caucasian territories including northern part of Azerbaijan to Russia in the 19th century after loosing the Russo-Persian wars and signing the treaties of Golestan and Turkmenchay. South part of Azerbaijan remained with Iran, north taken over by Russia, the new border was set between the two at the ''Aras'' River which, upon the Soviet Union's disintegration, subsequently became the border between Iran and todays Azerbaijan Republic.Nevertheless, the number of ethnic Azerbaijanis in Iran far outnumber those in neighbouring Azerbaijan.

[@nonkonform1st]

Thanks...it was a bit confusing.

[@Nlyta59]

[@firoozehfazlalizadeh6494]

[@dawnwang1558]

Thank you for the recipe, I love Doogh so much but I’m the only one out of my friends that like it.

[@Honestandtasty]

You’re so welcome!!

[@NeilG0]

Delightful

[@Honestandtasty]

Aw thanks! :D x

[@wallsart1696]

We call dovga in Baku , did not know u call it doogh

[@prazman]

Could I fry the garlic in butter and add towards the end? Would you recommend that?

[@TheMansionWorld]

Can Kefir be used?

[@Honestandtasty]

Haven’t used it but similar taste for sure

[@shabnamk5697]

It is super test

[@rpatel7941]

In India this is called Lassi

[@Honestandtasty]

Isn’t lassi a mango yogurt drink?

[@mohdsarfaraz399]

It's Butter Milk.

[@maryamzarei9962]

she is from IRAN

[@planet4love]

❤️

[@tomristuran7870]

Help! Thanks for the dovga asi! This soup is an Azerbaijani traditional soup. I’m from Tabriz and we make it all the time. Please don’t call our traditional food as Persian. We’re not Persian, we’re azerbaijani Turks. Respect your heritage and your culture.

[@tomristuran7870]

Btw, I make its vegan version as I’m vegetarian.

[@Honestandtasty]

Azerbaijanis are Persian. Even the country Azerbaijan was a part of Persia in recent history. I’m Azeri, therefore I’m Persian. I won’t tell you to respect your culture and make the soup non-vegan/vegetarian. Please be respectful here. Otherwise, this isn’t the place for you.

[@Slaptothefuture]

@@Honestandtasty as a fellow Iranian / Persian Azeri, This comment just warmend up my heart SOOOOOOO FREAKING Much! loved ur video btw Bita Jaan.

[@TabbyAngel2]

@@Honestandtasty love you beautiful ❤❤❤ you got my subscription. My grandfather was tabrizi and he would say the same thing. We are Persian-Iranian. Down with the separatists!

[@aisulusultan1761]

You looks like famous indian actres

[@teridacktaljones4553]

Pretty woman

[@vinayaksharma8387]

I think what farsi people call doogh, we Indians call it chaanch

[@Yeediatable]

I didn't know Azerbaijan was a part of Iran.....for some odd reason, I thought it was an INDEPENDENT country with its own capital (called Baku).....

[@Honestandtasty]

+Yeediatable So this is just a matter of quite recent history. Azerbaijan was a region of Iran until after World War I. It was then cut in half, and the top half became known as the country Azerbaijan, yet the majority of Azerbaijani people still live in the southern half, which remains the Azerbaijan region of Iran. Hope that helps! :)

[@Yeediatable]

Honest and Tasty Oh ...then you should have mentioned the Azerbaijan region of Iran..ahem...sorry...just being a jerk....thank you for the clarification....by the way, carbonated doogh is not as good as non carbonated one...but to each his own....the indian subcontinent has its own version called Lassi....I get easily addicted to it so I avoid it altogether because of the high salt content..they're both yummy nonetheless....anyways, sorry for sounding rude...khuda hafiz.

[@Saxroz1]

azerbaijan is independent country. the capital is baku. don't know why she called azerbaijan part of Iran

[@nahidbahramian2220]

Actually used to be part of Iran and Soviet Union took it!!

[@wallsart1696]

Honest and Tasty i am from baku and just moved in LA and every time persians ask me if i know persian when i say i am from Azerbaijan, that was puzzling me i was like why on the earth i should know persian, now i got it so u guys call north iran as Azerbaijan too that explains it all.
