Instructions
- 1
Boil the cherry leaves for 5 minutes and drain; if using brined leaves, rinse them in warm water to remove excess salt.
5 min05:00 - 2
Mix the kofta bulgur and cracked wheat in a bowl, pour over 1 cup hot water, cover for 15 minutes, then add flour and salt and knead until a nonsticky elastic texture forms.
15 min15:00 - 3
Lay one leaf vein-side up, place a hazelnut-size bit of filling in the center, and roll tightly as thin as a cigarette; prepare all leaves the same way.
- 4
In a wide pot, whisk the yogurt with egg and 1 tablespoon flour until foamy, then bring it close to a boil over low heat while stirring constantly so it does not curdle.
- 5
Arrange the rolls in the yogurt sauce, add just enough hot water without covering them fully, and cook over low heat for 20 minutes.
20 min20:00 - 6
Before serving, saute the finely chopped onion in butter until pink, drizzle over the rolls, rest for 5 minutes, and serve.

💡 Tip: Trim thick veins from the leaves so they roll without tearing.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with lemon drizzled over the top.
