The others was mostly Anatolian Greeks, Armenians, Kurdish, Iranians etc. You know...all those that you g€noside them to hide the history. Also Ottoman empire had different language and different religions. Even you that you think you are Turk you really have very little chances your ancestors being Turks.

I make this almost daily with 5 or 6 eggs depending on how hungry I am after returning home tired from work. No need for colander, and you can do it easier in a frying pan. Boil water in a kettle and pour into a frying pan about 1-1.5 inch high, crack the eggs into the water (from low height, don't drop em from high, makes em spread around in water). I don't spend time with chopping/grinding garlic, I put COLD yoghurt onto plate and spread, sprinkle garlic salt all over. Place the poached eggs on top. I use pull biber and smoked paprika in the butter. Whole dish is done in 5 mins. Cheers from Istanbul!

The word "yoghurt" is Turkish, it is a cross between "kneaded" and "concentrated". Other words from the same root: yoghurmak: to knead yoghun: dense and so on. The spelling is modified so it represents the closest sound when read by an English speaker. Yoghurt is milk kneaded and concentrated by yeast.

[@ChefVal1]

Love it! A very similar dish to this one is Panagyurski Eggs which derives its name from the town of Panagyurishte in Bulgaria. The dish itself has both the yoghurt and poached eggs, however, the traditional recipe also calls for crumbled feta cheese on top and a generous coating of gently heated smoked paprika in butter. It gives it a lovely smoky and deep flavour which sets it apart from the Turkish version of the dish. Quick history: the Ottoman Empire actually ruled over Bulgaria for a very long time so it is no wonder that we share so many common dishes, recipes and ingredients. Great work Guys 🤗

I often make this dish for brunch. Pul biber, also known as Aleppo pepper is not always readily available where I live in Australia so I tend to use a Smoked Paprika/Sweet Paprika mix in the butter - such a lovely dish to eat with yummy homemade sourdough just out of the oven

[@AycanCevik]

I live in Turkey and pul biber is easily available for me but i tend to use smoked paprika. Stains the butter even better imo.

[@IanFJ]

As a Sydney-sider, I have looked for Aleppo pepper everywhere -at least it felt like I looked everywhere. I first heard of these flakes on Masterchef Australia when Matt Preston demonstrated a couple of Middle Eastern dishes. Anyway, I eventually found Aleppo pepper at Peter's Of Kensington. It's not there all the time, but they often have unusual ingredients available from around the world. Happy hunting!

[@waytothewill]

Go with the Korean chili flakes used for Kimchi as an alternative.

[@Burak-ls5yd]

Paprika can be used as a substitute, since we also use that kind of pepper. But you have to turn off the fire before pouring it to the hot butter because it tends to burn easily. Just pour it, stir it for a second and pour it to the yogurt.

[@Critt_Ari]

That's really creative! ​@@waytothewill

[@ingetout]

This is one of my favourite egg dishes of all time and it takes 5 minutes to make. I would recommend adding dill to the yogurt which adds freshness to offset the rich butter and eggs.

[@doracotterell2863]

Do you add dill along with other garlic to the yogurt OR just dill alone? 💁‍♀️

[@ingetout]

@@doracotterell2863 I usually add chopped dill with the garlic to balance the rich eggs and pungency of the garlic.

5min to make? Brown butter with chili, pouches eggs, plate. Eggs alone take 3minutes. Boiling water and sifting eggs another few

​@@SeeNyuOG So it takes 11 minutes to make. Too long for you? Plus chop up a cup of tomatoes in 30 seconds, and you have a complete meal.

[@utkua]

Here is another pro tip, if you want Turkish garlic yogurt, mix salt with minced garlic and press them with the back of a spoon inside the dish and wait few seconds before adding yogurt, salt extracts juices therefore more flavors from garlic. Makes a difference.

[@talehmetesoy9020]

Turkish cuisine is the perfect harmony of simplicity and taste.

[@utkua]

My man Dan, small things like "using strained tangy yogurt", "salting the yogurt", "turning off the heat after adding pul biber" and not calling pul biber "chili flakes" shows how well he researched the subject. BTW, pul biber has medium heat, sun dried, you can say roasted under the scorching sun in eastern Turkey in July, has smoky flavor.

Hi, Turk here, Çılbır was not exclusive to royalty; in fact, it was and still is one of the staple foods for soldiers. The recipe for çılbır is found in the first printed cookbook Melceü’t-Tabbâhîn. The recipe is as follows: Fry several onions with a spoonful of olive oil and place them in a dish. Then, fill a large pan with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, crack five to ten eggs into the water and let them cook for a few minutes until the yolks are covered with white. Drain the water and place the eggs on top of the prepared onions. Cook a little butter until it is hot, then add cinnamon and pepper and pour it over the eggs. Sometimes, they also place these eggs on garlic yogurt with a little oil, which is also delicious. Still, your take is also perfect. Thanks for the video. Cheers!

Personally I prefer nice fresh simit with my çılbır. The colour of Urfa biber/isot pepper is fantastic & the flavour makes it my favourite chili, that fruity/raisin flavour it has really sets of dishes like this so well. If you can't find proper thick yogurt at home, you can drain yogurt over night on suspended cloth. Takes away the moisture nicely.

[@intractablemaskvpmGy]

I've gotten real good at poaching eggs. Most methods work. Some work better than others. One I tried today is first cracking your eggs into cool water with vinegar already in it. You let this sit for a few minutes before tranferring the eggs to the poaching bath. I use a skillet because the low sides make it easier to retrieve the eggs with the slotted spoon. Comes out perfect. No vinegar in the poaching bath means you don't have to rinse the eggs as some suggest.

[@oceanwonders]

Will try this 2-step process. Sounds good

Thanks for the incredible take of this amazing dish. As a Turkish person, it’s really refreshing to see people that are doing actual researches and diving into the details of a dish and its cuisine. Even the little bits of information you gave was on point without a miss. Great content!! ❤❤

Turkish food are perfect because they are coming from a huge culture from great Anatolia with history.. go Turkey and explore the history and modernity all together.

Seen it first in Beryl Shereshewsky's channel and now here! I predict this egg recipe is gonna be in every brunch restaurant menu soon. I prefer her technique for poaching, using a pan, placing them in shallow water, and putting a lid. Perfect every time, and far less messy.

[@jennifer1329]

she must have learned it from Refika... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqW2lYRmZ6-YjcU&ab_channel=Refika%27sKitchen

[@shaunaupnorth]

Agree on poaching. It was a game changer for me when started using a shallow pan and lid

[@MyAlbertC]

Good day, everyone. I just tried this recipe with what ingredients I had on hand, and it was great. I used sourcream with fresh mint, garlic, and salt as parsley in a bowl. In a small pan, I used fried chili in oil with salted butter and black pepper. Last, I just used an egg 🥚 poacher. Everything was done in 15 minutes with sourdough bread.😊 but one thing that stood out was that the red chili. Didn't add much chili, but it over powerd the recipe. You can be creative and add different ingredients also. 😎👍

Fantastic video. Thank you!!!

Thanks so much

One of my favorite breakfast!!! YES YOU NEED GARLIC!!! ❤

You should do something on different yogurts, Turkish, Greek, Icelandic is a new one and so on. 😂🤩

[@sandrah7512]

I guess you didn't try searching the channel?

[@cristinweekley2547]

@@sandrah7512 All I found was different types of Greek vs regular American yogurt.😊

@@cristinweekley2547 There's a segment from ATK TV Season 20 added here almost three years ago. It was the second hit after the homemade yogurt episode from What's Eating Dan? when I used the channel's 🔎My earlier comment with the link seems to have been deleted so you're on your own. 🤷🏼‍♀

[@cristinweekley2547]

I live in Minnesota and I have a friend that works at America’s Test kitchen and she said that they have not gone that deep into yogurts but she’s going to mention it. 😊

[@artagain8977]

Everything is so beautiful

[@roberttelarket4934]

Must try it as well as Turkish yogurt!

[@Steven-bg2lo]

What is annoying about ATK is the lack of ingredients list. I was trying to find the spice Pur Biber by how it was spoken. It would of been nice if it was just part of a list vs me hunting for it.

[@dizzyboy92]

That's behind a post paywall. These are just teasers.

[@Bozebo]

It's just Aleppo chili flakes, I guess they don't want to say Aleppo incase karens go insane.

[@skyydancer67]

Try paprika. I use smoked paprika.

[@bugraotken]

It's Pul Biber dear Steven. Pul > Flake, Biber > Pepper =))

[@donia1]

Paprika butter is what Beryl Shereshewky used in her video showcasing egg dishes around the world. The recipe n technique she used was better and simpler to create.

[@Cainula]

I don't know why they didn't tell you that Pul Biber is just Aleppo chili flakes by the Turkish name.

[@KenS1267]

I looked up the name and came here to say this. I was very annoyed.

[@shlomovenezia101]

no doubt

[@i000110001100]

Thank you! I went from "WTF, how do I even spell that?" To "WTF, I already have that in my cupboard."

[@louniece1650]

I found that very odd, too. I'm not used to them showing off.

[@Dr.CandanEsin]

Aleppo didn't knew pepper. Ottoman ships and camel traders brought the seeds to Mezopotamia lands because land and weather was suitable, similar to South America. Let's learn the facts without nationalistic prejudice.

[@aysunulusan1]

I love cilbir...Thank you for sharing it

[@burakucbinli3156]

some greek person in the future: it is not Çılbır, it is tzilbiris. It is not Turkish, it is greek.

[@TomLee-lv8ql]

What a nonsense, let's open history books: Yogurts place of origin is Mesopotamia & Central Asia ~5,000 BC! The cuisine of ancient Greece included a dairy product known as oxygala (οξύγαλα) which was a form of yogurt.

[@Megamorphism]

You don't have to put Turkish before yoğurt. Because it is already Turkish.

[@sryavuz]

we generally make a whirlpool when poaching eggs. And we keep low heat. It makes whites more concentrated i think.

[@tolgaylmaz1027]

I am turkish and I am impressed. well done chef !!

[@livingLge]

Should have mentioned that Pul Biber is Aleppo Pepper. Why must you mystify things when you are trying to demystify them??? It doesn't help us when you are intentionally elitist. Otherwise love it.
