Knead 250 g ground beef with half a cup fine bulgur for 3 minutes.
Roll the mixture into chickpea-size meatballs and press them firmly so they do not fall apart while cooking.
Boil 1 cup chickpeas and the meatballs in 5 cups water for 25 minutes.
Whisk 600 g yogurt and 1 egg in a separate bowl until smooth.
Add 2 ladles of hot soup liquid to temper the yogurt mixture so it does not curdle.
Pour the tempered mixture into the pot and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring.
💡 Tip: Temper the yogurt with hot soup before adding it; it thickens smoothly without curdling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with mint butter.
