Mash the kurut with hot water until it reaches a smooth yogurt-like consistency.
Toast the egg noodles in a dry pot for 4 minutes, until lightly colored.
Add enough hot water to cover and the salt, then cook for 12 minutes until tender.
Melt the butter in a small pan and turn the walnuts for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add crushed garlic and black pepper to the kurut sauce.
Transfer the noodles to a serving plate and serve hot with kurut sauce and walnut butter.
💡 Tip: Loosen the kurut with hot water, not boiling water; excessive heat sharpens the sourness and can leave the sauce grainy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve like a main dish with pickles, fresh herbs, and plain ayran.
