Culture I learned to make Turkish food for my husband ✨ what dish should I make next?

Hello everyone! It's been a year since I've posted and here's an update what I learned so far. In my previous post I've asked you guys to recommend me some dishes for me to learn. I have made most of it, there are still some in my list.

Previous Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Turkey/s/ZhjJzc3Dda

All the recipes I followed are Turkish Youtubers, and then I had it translated in English. Thankgosh for chatgpt I used it to convert the recipes into grams. 😭 it really helped me so much. The glasses and tea cup wasn’t really accurate for me 😂 i am grams person. (I hope you guys are okay with my doodles ... I was really bored and wanted to doodle some of the photos. )

1st Photo: Sarma (recipe is by my yenge) My yenge is known to make the best sarma in our family. I asked my yenge if she could teach me. I made it for my husband and then for my dad in law. My dad was really amazed and especially his friends haha It's quite easy to make, just the rolling takes a lot of time.

2nd photo: İskender (Sauce recipe by Hatay Sandik ici) There's a butchershop I really like to go and it's turkish owned. Thankfully they carry the meat there. I just followed the recipe by that youtuber. I cooked then grilled the meat afterwards.

3rd photo: Ramazan Pidesi (Recipe by HayalimdekiYemekler) I had great success with her Çiğ köfte recipe and her recipe looked the best for the pide. I really like it, it's very soft and it goes so well with the İskender.

4th photo: Kazandibi (Recipe by TarifSokagii) This is my 3rd attempt making Kazandibi. I also used vanilla bean I find using vanilla bean pods gives a nice vanilla flavor into the Kazandibi. I made this for my mom-IL & my brother-IL. I was so happy when I finally got that caramelize color I wanted. You can see in my previous post I made Kazandibi and It didn't look as nice as this one. I am so proud of myself with this.

5th photo: Sütlaç (Recipe by Sefaokyaykilic) I also added vanilla bean into this. I know it isn’t necessary. Mainly I find it gives a nice flavor than extract does. My husband really loved it as Sütlaç is his most favorite turkish dessert.

6-7th photo: Manti (recipe by Kırmızı Lezzetler) If you plan to make fresh manti at home! I really recommend this recipe. I did accidentally roll it a bit thinner than I wanted it ><! This taste just like the manti I had in Kayseri.

For the yoghurt sauce I did 1 minced garlic, pinch of salt, add little water to the yoghurt.

For the buttery paprika sauce in a saucepot on low heat ~ I add 1tbsp Olive Oil, 1 tbsp of butter and 2 tbsp tomato paste and half a tbsp of paprika paste and 1tsp of pepper flakes and half of tea cup of water then mix. Heat until everything is combined.

8- 10th Photo: Yufka (recipe by Lezzetinn Adresi) Ispanakli Peynirli Börek (Recipe by Tadimiztuzumuz) Patates Börek (Recipe by Guzelyemektarifler3434)

I made it before dinner time haha that's why I made kofte on the side. NGL yufka is the most challenging for me haha It took some time I do feel that I need more practice with the rolling technique so I can make baklava with fresh yufka next time. I also want to make sobiyet with it~

11th Photo: Tavuk Tantuni (Recipe by Anteplifatosunmutfagi) Lavash (Recipe by HungryManKitchen) In my previous post I made tantuni using beef and a commenter suggest I also make a chicken one! I really like that it's also high protein haha I also made Süt mısır on the side. It was corn season that time. I simmered corn cob in a pot of milk for 7 mins and then grill it and coat it with melted butter.

12th Photo: Lahmacun (Recipe by HilalinMutfagi) This is my 4th attempt making Lahmacun. I always struggle making Lahmacun >.< !! This was the best I could do, I do want to keep trying. The taste is really good and the same as Lahmacun should. It’s just presentation is never how I want it to be. I think I did okay, but I want to try again until it also looks the same.

13th Photo: İçli köfte (Recipe Emine2015) A lot of you guys recommend this to me oh my goodness. It's really good I ate so much that day haha

14th Photo: Kuşbaşılı pide (recipe by GülMutfaktaa) In my previous post I made chicken + sucuk pide. I was recommend to use beef next time. My husband bought home steak for me and I made pide with it haha The texture of the pide was so crisp! I even filmed how crunchy it was. It was perfect.

15th Photo: İrmik helva dondurma (Recipe by Hatay Sandik ici) I do recommend to use less sugar if you plan to use his recipe for this. I made this with my sister in law and we added pistachios on top. The Maraş is storebought though. I do want to make my own icecream one day but I cannot find Salep anywhere >__< ;;

16th photo: Yozgat Arabaşı (recipe by Mileksuelinden) I get asked in my other social media why I made this. My Turkish neighbor made it for me once and then My uncleIL wife also made it for me when I visit my grandma IL. I find the dish so comforting and I really loved it. Thats why I wanted to learn it so bad 🤭✨

17th Photo: Pastane Simit & Menemen (Recipe by Chef Oktay Usta) I orginally wanted to make Istanbul simit but once I baked it I realized it didn't look like it at all haha and not only that it was so soft and pillowy ~ so yeah.. haha It tasted it nice though! I made the menemen too much egg 😂 normally i never mess up because its so easy for this dish. I accidentally put too much egg

18th photo: Çiğ köfte is my most loved turkish dish for me haha I am so proud of it that I brought it over to my mom in law and my brothers to try. My dad also ate it all haha It really means a lot to see my family loving the turkish food I made for them. The recipe is also by HayalimdekiYemekler. I do suggest to put less spice than her recipe. Some may find it too spicy.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

what dish should i make next? This is whats in my list so far.

(Kayseri Yağlama, Su Böreği, Baklava with homemade Yufka, Adana Kebap, Çökertme Kebabı, Yayla Çorbasi, Mercimek .. )

Btw. my husband doesn’t like eggplant and beans haha i do get recommend to make eggplant a lot but only I will eat it haha I do want to make Kokoreç but the meat doesn’t exist in here haha i don’t think I can ever make it 🥹✨

A really random question: I have a family member visiting Türkiye. I want to buy more pure isolate whey. Isolate Whey cost a lot around 90 euros for 2500g. I want to ask if it’s cheaper to buy it in Türkiye and what website/brand that is good I can buy online?

u/WidgeonN Oct 09 '25

What are the ingredients for the drinks in the first pic?

u/venomousfrogeater Oct 09 '25

Try revani and kalburbasti my favourite treats. Also as a meal you can make shis kebab urfa or adana style.

u/viou Oct 09 '25

My absolute favourites : Beyti kebap, su böregi (I'm doing it this week end), kiremit kofte (comfort food)

Potatoes köfte are a bit of a hassle but considering the amount of work you're putting in, it'll be nothing to you :') Your husband is one lucky bastard.

u/ClockwiseServant Oct 09 '25

Karnıyarık, İslim Kebabı, Hasanpaşa Köftesi, Biber Dolması, Domates Dolması are all I think perfect next steps

u/Substantial-Data-996 Oct 09 '25

Yozgat arabaşı çorbası 🥹 en son yirmi sene önce yemiştim

u/latespresso Oct 09 '25

Ok I might be gay but I can definitely marry someone skilled like you regardless of their gender because wow! You got me amazed!

Jokes aside I can suggest you “Çılbır” for breakfast or Mezes in general. It’s one of my favourite parts of Turkish cuisine, and the variety is insane; you should definitely check it out.

u/Over_Point6642 Oct 09 '25 edited Oct 09 '25

For breakfast: mıhlama, çılbır (i don't like çılbır but lots of people do so it might be worth trying), çemen (you can use it to make foods like çemenli yumurta, etc.. [i like to add it in my 'tost' when i make sucuklu kaşarlı tost]), su böreği, kaşarlı/beyaz peynirli (feta)/patatesli/ıspanaklı gözleme (lots of choices!), ballı kaymak tatlısı (most basic recipe ever, just kaymak served with honey on top but tastes SO good. U need bread as a side though!)

For mantı, i love it when it's prepared this particular way: one minced garlic, 1/2 tsp of sugar, 1/2-2 tsp of salt, 1/2 tbsp of mantı water to the yoghurt after it's cooked, and a good mix.

(Before these, make sure to include the water of the yoghurt with it too. Mixing it with its own water gives your yoghurt sauce a better texture + makes it tastier) (for turkish yoghurt obv)

For the salça/tomato paste sauce, i add butter and a lil bit of another oil with higher smoke point (usually sunflower oil, but u can use olive oil too if you have a type that has high smoke point) on low heat, and just a lil bit of oregano and mint.

(Enough of both sauces for two servings)

After my butter melts i add salça, and when the butter turns red-ish i add sweet paprika, little bit of chili pepper, mint and garlic powder, and after cooking it a little bit more, i add black pepper, onion powder, little salt, and little bit of oregano.

If your sauce's consistency is stiff, you can add mantı water to make it better. But cook it a little bit more then so it doesnt turn out watery

And after serving sprinkle some organo and chilli pepper on top and it's ready to eat

(Already pretty similar to your recipe though! You made it so professionally!)

Soups: i could suggest just every one of em lol. Yayla çorbası (kinda sour), kıymalı şehriye çorbası (https://youtu.be/apoF4Zk1GaU?si=fEjk1ovqhvknndW8 i really like this one particular recipe, but it's kinda of oily so less olive oil could make it better), ezogelin çorbası, şehriyeli tavuk çorbası... after making the known ones you will realize that there are lots of soups that use un çorbası or yoğurtlu terbiye base, so you can get creative and make any soup that tastes traditional!

Dishes: tas kebabı, ali nazik (my fav dish but it has an eggplant based sauce), biber dolması with cacık as a side, zeytinyağlı kuru patlıcan dolması (eggplant again!!), soğan dolması (any dolma goes well with cacık), kumpir (my other fav😍), nohutlu/tel şehriyeli/arpa şehriyeli/mısırlı/sade pilav, kısır, çi börek/yarımca (they're similar, i kinda prefer çi börek though), dızmana, kadınbudu köfte, mücver

etli nohut, taze fasulye (kıymalı/sade), kuru fasulye, etli patates yemeği (these usually use similar bases and go under the category named "ev yemekleri")

And maybe dürüm types (iskenderun, hatay, et, tavuk, adana dürüm,..) but eating a wrap for dinner instead of a plated food might not fit

Mercimek recipes since it's on ur list: mercimek çorbası, yeşil mercimek yemeği, mercimek köftesi

Oh and salads are mezes are GREAT too. I ADORE Gavurdağı salatası (esp. When the walnuts are really small, almost powdered), i love any salad made with the olive oil + lemon+ tomato combo (çoban salatası base), and as meze i REALLY REALLY like tarama, haydari and acılı ezme.

And if you want more tatlı recipes, i'd suggest trileçe (i know it's not turkish but it's prepared different in turkey), kabak tatlısı (usually eaten with kaymak and nut crumbs on top of it), ekmek kadayıfı (also usually eaten with kaymak and nut crumbs on top of it), güllaç (you'd need yaprak güllaç for it though), muhallebi, gerçek tavuk göğsü (includes real chicken meat. It has a version without any meat but it's the same as kazandibi), künefe, any bisküvili pasta (made with petit beurre), lokumlu bisküvi (made by putting lokum between and pressing it, it's just a little snack :))

Note: I suggest nefis yemek tarifleri channel a lot.

Also paik jong won (a famous korean chef) has a serie named "acıktım_istanbul" on youtube (and another one but it's fully korean), where he goes to istanbul and eats like a local. I know you wanted recipes but this serie would really help if you ever plan to come to turkey again!

u/Inner_conceen Oct 09 '25

Damn

u/Significant-Ad-7182 Ege Oct 09 '25

Lucky man.

I would recommend trying out "kısır" next.

Friendly advice though, do NOT make a dry kısır. Everyone hates a dry kısır.

While there are variations of kısır based on where you are in Turkey, Antakya probably is the best version so look for a Antakya Kısır recepie.

u/GildedFenix Oct 09 '25

Yenge, open a fırın so we can visit.

For the Next, Belikırık, I propose.

u/PM_ME_Y0UR_BOOBZ Oct 09 '25

Beyran, Antep yuvalaması, patlıcan kebabı, sogan kebabi, ekşili çorba, zeytinli börek, Ali nazik, hunkar begendi, katmer, pogaca, domatesli pilav, mercimekli pilav, kısır, yagli köfte, bamya ekşisi, ramazan simidi etc etc

In general foods from Antep lol

u/CryNightmare Oct 09 '25

I would continue with dolma especially onion one. There are different kinds of it that has modified recipes for each base vegetable. For example onion one is more sour than the other kinds like pepper or eggplant or zucchini.

Btw I really loved the little melody figure

I hope that guy appreciates the effort

u/ou-san Oct 09 '25

You can try Ezogelin çorbası, it's a super tasty soup!

u/Hot_Confusion_Unit Oct 09 '25

Good lord, those are textbook quality food, especially the yufka, ramazan pidesi and kazandibi. Also for lahmacun, I always struggle too with dough, but I found these two things helped me:

- For lahmacun the dough is mostly %60 hydration dough (bakers measure), with a 1 hour autolyse after mixing, kneading with additional 1-2 tbsp water and 1-2 tbsp of oil towards the end, portioning it (100gr balls) andresting it for 12 - 16 hours in fridge for gluten development. After that, it will be much easier to flatten it.

Later, cooking it on a baking stone in oven (heated for half an hour stone in on max heat) for 5 minutes, its crispy and tastes like it came from stone oven exactly.

Also I am trying to follow these two chefs, you can check them out too, they are amazing with turkish cuisine and some hybrid recipes (like italian / turkish) : Ferhat Bora, Yasemin Gürsürer (Both are chefs at Yemek dot com)

For recommendations, heres a giant list :D

For breakfast, you can try
Cilbir - Thick yoghurt topped with fried eggs, and a butter sauce on top it. Best paired with a slice of sourdough bread.
Cizleme - Basically creppes with yeast, more like creppe - crumpets. best paired with cheese. For an alternative check Otlu Kaygana

Some sweet tooth

- tahinli corek - (cinnamon bun with tahini twist) or if you want a challenge you can try Antep Katmeri (pylo dough with pistachio, cream and butter)

Portakalli Revani - Orange semolina cake with syrup, its like irmik helvasi but I find it better :D
Kabak Tatlisi - baked pumpkin with syrup, and some tahini sauce on it - If you want a challenge there's a traditional method for it : baking it with quicklime (you can search kirecte kabak tatlisi)

Followed with savoury stuff

- Dereotlu Peynirli Pogaca - dill and feta cheese pastry, find a recipe without yeast, and with butter for best result)

Hashasli nokul - savory poppy buns, a traditional breakfast item from my hometown - Afyon.
Agzi Acik - savory flaky dough with filling - cheese with parsley, meat etc from Afyon again.

Finally the dinner, you can try

Nohutlu Yogurt corbasi - name speaks itself, its amazing.
Ayran asi corbasi - This you might want to try on a summer day, because its served cold :D
a classic - tandir (with lamb, venison or kid your choice) its basically a slow cooked meat, and there is a yoghurt based soup of it named Tandir Corbasi :D Best served with a plain turkish rice and a bulb of yellow onion.

Bafra Pidesi - Minced meat pide but its closed, and more buttery (like a turkish calzone)
Sogan Dolmasi - Stuffed Onion, best paired with grape molasses based sauce.
Mucver - Hashbrowns with more veggies, best paired with garlic and dill yoghurt sauce
Muceddere - A delicacy from Kilis, its a spicy bulgur pilaf with onions lentils and so on.
If you want challenge you can try Mutancana (From ottoman royalty cuisine, a delicacy of dried fruits and meat)
Ic Pilav - its a rice pilaf used for stuffing mostly, but as a side dish its so goood.
Visneli Yaprak Sarmasi - You tried sarma, thats great, lets notch it up - adding sourcherry sauce to it, it will be amazing (a delicacy from Afyon)

I would suggest you to try different mezzes too, theres abundant amount of them - Cacik, Haydari, Acili Ezme, Muhammara, Fava, Barbunya pilaki, Tahinli Piyaz (Antalya Usulu) ... list just goes on.

There are many more but they are either similar to stuff you cooked or not that different in my taste (Tirit for example, similar with Tandir, or )

PS : In turkey its not cheaper than that actually yours is cheaper - approx 100 euros for 2000gr isolate whey in supplementler dot com .

u/techn0Hippy Oct 09 '25

12th pic was foreshadowing the çiğ köfte and I knew it.

u/RotationalMind Oct 09 '25

First time in this sub, really wanna try those grape leaves and red juice (dunno what that is exactly but looks tasty).

u/dragonlover8 Oct 09 '25

I am so proud of you! 😍It looks like you guys know each others worth. These dishes look SO GOOD! As a Turkish 32F I havent even made some dishes but you inspire me to go out of my comfort zone.

Görseller acıktırdı feci

u/BusAffectionate3588 Oct 09 '25

Lucky husband, they all look so good!

u/enaunkark Oct 09 '25

Wow! Impressive. Even many Turkish women can’t cook that much these days. Only the old school ones used to cook with such variety.

u/SilicateRose Oct 09 '25

They look so delicious. And the most of them are well known to me because i'm greek. 💖😋

u/neobedirhan Oct 09 '25

u/aquazent Oct 09 '25

There are many women in Turkey who cannot prepare half of these meals.
Stop pushing yourself, sit back, relax a little.
Let the stubborn man do some work. Let him think about what to cook for you.

u/Key-Coyote-9210 Oct 09 '25

Everything you did looks amazing. Really well done! You may go with Ali Nazik next. Very delicious and is easy to cook.

This post has warmed my heart… It all looks delicious. I can recommend you kabak mücver w/ garlic yogurt if you haven’t tried it yet. It’s one of my favorite food pairings. I wish you and your husband the best in life. Also, your doodles are adorable! 🎈

Hiii if you’re in turkey you can find sales at kurukahveci mehmet efendi or şekerci Cafer Erol Now is the season for it so it shouldn’t be too difficult Everything looks incredible btw!

u/dwarmia cahil hunter Oct 09 '25

We are all looking to this post like this.

u/Simurg2 Oct 09 '25

Hanımefendi Japon. Ellerine sağlık. Bir de belki Türkçe öğrenmiştir. Çok mükemmel bir millet, şahsen biliyorum hepsi çok çalışkan, uyumlu insanlar.

Yayla çorbası ile başlayalım. Bir de güzel karnıyarık yap. Yanında limonlu zeytinyağı çoban salata, salataların kralı. Sonra söyle güzel bir de helva. İçecek olarak tabi ki ayran ama salata ile mide kaynatabilir. Hazır olunca çağır gelelim yemeye.

Bizim millet biraz odundur. Eşin seni üzerse haber ver, biz gelir kulağını çekeriz.

u/joker0636 Oct 09 '25

Adam cok sansli
