What else can I make with these ingredients?
Instructions
- 1
Knead the flour, water, and 1 teaspoon of the salt into a firm dough that does not stick to your hands.
- 2
Cover the dough and rest it for 20 minutes so it relaxes before rolling.
20 min20:00 - 3
Mash the Abaza cheese and mix it with dried basil to prepare the filling.
- 4
Roll the dough slightly thicker than manti dough and cut 7 cm rounds.
- 5
Place cheese filling in the center of each round, close like a half moon, and press the edges.
- 6
Boil water in a large pot, add the remaining salt, and cook the haluj for 10 to 12 minutes.
12 min12:00 - 7
Mix the yogurt with crushed garlic and heat the ground red pepper in butter for 1 minute.
1 min01:00 - 8
Drain the haluj and serve with garlic yogurt, pepper butter, and ayran.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find Abaza cheese, use lightly salted Circassian cheese; kashar melts too much and may leak into the boiling water.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve haluj hot with garlic yogurt, pepper butter, and ayran; because it is a large dumpling, a salad on the side is enough.
