Soak the chickpeas and pounded wheat in separate bowls for 8 hours.
Finely chop the tirsik herb, wash it in plenty of water, and drain.
Place the tirsik herb, drained pounded wheat, chickpeas, and hot water in a pot.
Whisk the ayran with the flour until smooth and add it to the pot.
Cover the pot and leave it to ferment for 8 hours; the color should start turning yellow.
Cook the fermented soup over very low heat for 210 minutes with the lid slightly ajar.
Add the salt, thicken for 30 more minutes, and serve warm.
💡 Tip: Buy tirsik herb from a trusted market seller who knows it; using the wrong leaf is risky, and this recipe is not for experimenting with unfamiliar greens.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve tirsik warm, with optional cornbread and hot pepper pickles to balance its sourness.
