Knead the flour, water, and half of the salt into a firm dough.
Rest the dough for 10 minutes, cut it into thin strips, then divide it into chickpea size pieces.
Bring the beef stock to a pot, then add the dough pieces and boiled chickpeas once it boils.
Cook the halucka over medium heat for 22 minutes, until the dough pieces soften.
Whisk the yogurt with crushed garlic and temper it with 2 spoonfuls of hot soup liquid.
Divide the garlic yogurt among serving bowls and ladle the hot halucka over it.
Foam the dried mint and red pepper flakes in butter for 1 minute and drizzle over the soup.
💡 Tip: Keep the dough pieces on a floured tray; if stuck pieces go into the pot, the soup turns cloudy and the centers stay raw.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve halucka hot with garlic yogurt and mint butter, with corn bread on the side if desired.
