Istanbul and Izmir is also a Greek world but you still use it like many others in your language. If you dont believe me google it. Also Turkey 🦃 as a country exist only about a 100 years. Just to catch you the Turks in the Ottoman Empire was about 20% of the population. 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.

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.

Okay if we talk about the word we should pronounce it right, that is "yoğurt" with letter soft g (ğ). It isn't a sound like "g", if it sounds or looks scary for non-natives (btw it's not that hard to say) you can skip or ignore the letter and try to pronounce it in that way.

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!

[@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 🤗

[@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.

It's not there all the time, but they often have unusual ingredients available from around the world. Happy hunting!

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.

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!

[@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

Personally I prefer nice fresh simit with my çılbır.

As a Turkish, I am proud. Our dishes are in the top 5. Even our unpopular dishes are great

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.

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

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. 😊

​@@cristinweekley2547there is no such thing as greek yoghurt.

Looks yummy!!!

Cilbir; my mom's quick dinner solution when she had no time to prepare a proper 3 course dinner :)) I loved it as a child, and now I have it for breakfast for a high protein meal. Even sometimes I do not poach but make them sunny side up and I like it with a hearty slice of grilled rustic bread.

[@Megamorphism]

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

[@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.

[@y.heinbecker6916]

Fantastic video. Thank you!!!

[@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.

[@gailaltschwager7377]

Thank you!

[@wizardmcse]

I love çılbır. It's simple but amazing food. I would recommend it to everyone.

[@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.
