  • About

My ancestors are Tartars who moved to central Anatolia from an area that is now close to Russia on the Black Sea. This is one of their dishes. Using raw beef (the meaning of the word çiğ in the Turkish name), you must knead it tenderly before stuffing inside yoğurt pastry in a half moon shape. It is vital to seal the pastry tightly, so the meat steams inside without making contact with the frying oil.
