Soak the bulgur and semolina with hot water and let them swell for 15 minutes.
Add the flour, egg, pepper paste, salt, and cumin, then knead until paste-like.
Roll hazelnut-size koftas from the mixture.
Boil the koftas in salted water until they rise to the surface.
Whisk the yogurt with crushed garlic.
Foam the red pepper flakes in butter without burning them.
Serve the koftas with yogurt and pepper butter.
💡 Tip: If the kofta mixture cracks, wet your hand with a little water and knead again; the moisture balance helps the bulgur bind.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Bring belluh to the table with garlic yogurt, sumac onions, and fresh mint.
