Mash and loosen the kurut in warm water for 15 minutes and set aside.
Boil the pounded wheat in plenty of water for 25 minutes until tender; add the boiled chickpeas and green lentils.
Brown the onion in butter for 5 minutes, add the bulgur for pilaf, and toast for 2 minutes.
Add the wheat, lentil, and chickpea mixture and its cooking water, 3 cups, to the bulgur and salt it; cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
Add the kurut water during the last 5 minutes and stir once so the sourness balances.
Scent the butter with basil and drizzle it over the serving plate.
💡 Tip: Adding kurut after the boil is finished gives a smooth sourness. If adding meat, boil 200 g diced lamb before the wheat.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Drizzle hot butter scented with basil over the top and serve with yogurt or pickles.
