What else can I make with these ingredients?
Instructions
- 1
Whisk the eggs, yogurt, and water in a wide bowl until smooth.
- 2
Add the flour, salt, and baking soda and make a batter with a thick boza-like consistency.
- 3
Rest the batter for 8 minutes so the flour absorbs the liquid and the inside of the cilikta cooks more evenly.
8 min08:00 - 4
Heat the pan over medium heat and swirl in half of the vegetable oil.
2 min02:00 - 5
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan and fry each side for 3 minutes.
6 min06:00 - 6
Cook the remaining batter the same way, adding vegetable oil little by little if needed.
- 7
Transfer the cilikta to paper towels and serve hot.
💡 Tip: The batter should be as thick as boza; if it seems short on flour, add 1 tablespoon, otherwise cilikta spreads in the pan.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cilikta hot with optional Erzurum cecil cheese, honey, and strong tea.
