What else can I make with these ingredients?
Instructions
- 1
Whisk the flour, eggs, yogurt, water, and salt until you have a fluid batter that still drops from the spoon in pieces.
- 2
Rest the batter for 8 minutes so the flour absorbs moisture.
8 min08:00 - 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan to about 175°C.
- 4
Take spoonfuls of batter with a wet spoon and drop them into the oil.
- 5
Fry the zirihta pieces for 5 to 6 minutes, turning them until all sides are golden.
6 min06:00 - 6
Lift the fried pieces out with a strainer and let them stand on paper towels for 2 minutes.
2 min02:00 - 7
Warm the honey gently, drizzle it over the zirihta with the walnut kernels, and serve warm.
💡 Tip: Dip the spoon in water each time so the batter drops neatly; keeping the oil around 175°C helps the center cook through.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve zirihta warm with honey and optional walnuts, with strong tea on the side.
