Sort the poppy greens, wash them in plenty of water, and chop coarsely.
Put the greens in a pot with the water and salt, and soften for 10 minutes.
Add the coarse bulgur and cook for another 10 minutes.
Loosen the flour with a few spoonfuls of the cooking liquid and stir it into the pot.
Thicken the dish for 4 minutes, remove from the heat, and let it cool to warm.
Mix the strained yogurt with crushed garlic and clotted cream butter.
Add the yogurt mixture to the warm greens, stir gently, and serve.
💡 Tip: Do not add the yogurt to a boiling dish; letting it cool for a few minutes keeps the borani from curdling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve poppy greens borani at room temperature with village bread and pickles.
