Instructions
- 1
Soak the fine bulgur with 0.5 cup hot water for 8 minutes.
8 min08:00 - 2
Knead the ground beef, swollen bulgur, grated onion, half of the salt, and black pepper for 6 minutes.
- 3
Shape the mixture into oval meatballs and cook them in boiling salted water for 12 minutes without letting them fall apart.
12 min12:00 - 4
Drain the meatballs and let them cool for 10 minutes; the coating holds less well on hot meatballs.
10 min10:00 - 5
Whisk the eggs, flour, water, and remaining salt until smooth to make a thick pourable batter.
- 6
Heat the vegetable oil to 175°C, dip the meatballs in the batter, and fry for 7 minutes, turning them.
7 min07:00 - 7
Mix the strained yogurt with crushed garlic and serve the meatballs with roasted peppers.
💡 Tip: Let the meatballs cool slightly before dipping them in the batter; very hot meatballs can curdle the egg coating and leave the fried surface bumpy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cullama meatballs hot with garlic yogurt, roasted peppers, and bulgur pilaf if desired.
