Soak the chickpeas in water for 8 hours.
Soak the broken rice for 20 minutes, drain it, and process it with the onion.
Knead the rice mixture with lean beef mince, black pepper, and half the salt for 10 minutes.
Roll pea-sized koftes from the mixture.
Boil the diced lamb and chickpeas with hot water for 60 minutes.
Add the yuvarlama koftes to the pot and cook for 18 minutes.
Whisk the strained yogurt, egg, and flour, temper with hot meat broth, and add to the pot.
Cook the soup over low heat for 10 minutes without boiling so the yogurt does not curdle.
Foam the butter with dried mint for 2 minutes and drizzle it over the yuvarlama.
💡 Tip: Making the koftes pea-sized lets them cook evenly inside the yogurt soup.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Pour dried mint butter over the top and serve hot on a holiday morning.
