Knead the flour, water, and half the salt into a firm dough.
Rest the dough covered for 15 minutes; this reduces cracking while cutting.
Roll the dough thin, cut chickpea-sized squares, spread them on a tray, and air them for 8 minutes.
Boil the water or chicken stock, add the dough pieces, and cook for 12 minutes.
Add the boiled chickpeas to the pot and boil for 6 more minutes.
Whisk the yogurt, crushed garlic, and 1 ladle of hot soup liquid, then add the tempering slowly to the pot.
Warm the soup for 5 minutes without boiling; keep the heat medium-low so the yogurt does not split.
Foam the butter with mint for 2 minutes and drizzle it over the soup.
💡 Tip: Flour the dough pieces and leave them uncovered for 8 minutes; this slight drying keeps them from sticking in the soup.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve halucka hot with mint butter; optional lemon and pickles suit a Black Sea table.
