Greetings to everyone from a buzz-like Istanbul evening…
Should I do it or not? Oh, I don't have any time right now! We'll see... Despite my slurs, I started the preparations for ashura by saying that it is indispensable in the new house :) As a matter of fact, whenever I boil ashura, I feel incredible peace and I believe that it will bring abundance and abundance to the cooked house.
Today, I will share with you my recipe for ashura, which I have prepared many times before, but which I have changed a little more each time, and this is what I said at the end.
The first soup I prepared years ago was almost half of this recipe. When its taste was liked, it was consumed among the family without being able to distribute it to anyone. This time, I prepared 30 portions and distributed all of them hot, except for the 4 bowls I reserved for ourselves.
Now, let me talk about the tricks you need to pay attention to while making aşure.
Generally, everyone is after white ashura for this;
You should put the materials such as walnuts and currants that you will add to the ashura in hot water beforehand, wait for at least 15-20 times and drain the water.
Fig is another factor that makes the color darker, so it should be added to the ashura before taking it from the stove as much as possible.
Using cinnamon sticks instead of powdered cinnamon and boiling cinnamon sticks with wheat will give you a deep and pleasant flavor.
Ashura water often changes, so you should always have hot water ready in the heater.
Finally, you should add the sugar last so that the legumes you put in the soup do not harden, and you should continue to cook by stirring so that the bottom does not stick.
Love…

How to Make Ashura Recipe?
- Soak the wheat, beans, chickpeas in separate containers overnight. The next day, strain the wheat and put it in a large steel pot.
- Add 4 liters of water and 1 stick of cinnamon to the wheat and bring to a boil. Take the foam that accumulates on it with a colander, close the lid of the pot and boil it until the wheat bursts and becomes soft. (Add water as it decreases while boiling)
- Drain the beans and chickpeas and boil them in separate pots (I recommend starting all three, including wheat, at the same time). Use a coffee pot for rice.
- While the ingredients are boiling, put the currants in water and leave for 15-20 minutes. Chop the dried apricots and figs in the size of chickpeas.
- When the boiling water of the wheat turns white and starts to thicken, add the chickpeas and dried beans, rice and dried mulberry. Boil well until it starts to thicken.
- Then add peanuts, raisins, finely chopped dried apricots and grated orange peels and mix. Bring a few boils to a boil.
- Finally, add the sugar and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring. Lastly, add the figs and bring to a boil and remove from the fire.
- Pour into bowls while the ashura is hot. Serve when it cools, garnish with the ingredients of your choice.
Hi Nilay, we put dried white grapes and apricots in the assure. I will put dried mulberry for the first time because it is at home. We do not put walnuts, pistachios and almonds inside.
Hello, Ms. Nilgün, I am making 2-3 different recipes. I used it in this, but in my other full-measured recipe, there is no nuts in it. I'll give the link here https://mutfaksirlari.com/asure-tam-olculu.html
It is a little stiff, but softens slightly as it rests. Since I love that part very much, I throw it in from time to time :) You don't need to multiply the beans. Yours sincerely
I'm going to make it for the first time, can you let me know if I should add the white grapes we ate, not the dried ones you call grapes?
Hello, you can find dried white grapes in herbalists. Yours sincerely
I applied your recipe and made a great asure. Thank you.
Good luck to you :) Best regards!
Do we drain and wash the beans and chickpeas after boiling, and do we drain the apricots and grapes after boiling them Thank you
Hello, the water of all the material we boiled will be filtered. No need to grind beans and chickpeas. Yours sincerely
I made asure for the first time with your recipe last year, it was amazing. Since I didn't save the recipe anywhere this year, I searched for the recipe for the whole evening on the internet, I read it so much while making it that I wrote istanbul on google as asure buzz and found you again :) No recipe is better than yours! I'm starting to do it :)
I put milk in my soup, it is very tasty and white is beautiful.
The trick should not be forgotten, if you put milk, do not add orange zest, the milk will be cut.
Good luck to all of us
I made Ashura for the first time and it was very nice, is it such a good explanation, thank you very much.
Hello,
I read it but I couldn't understand it completely. How many servings is this recipe for ashura :)
Thank you.
It came out between 27-30 positions this year.
Hello there
I have reviewed many recipes, but I liked your recipe the most. I want to try it right away, I hope it will be delicious.
Yours
Take it easy :)
Doesn't the bark darken the color of cinnamon? I like the color white. I like the color of the figs.
Regular cinnamon can darken it, but the stick does not give color.
Hello, I really like the ashura pots. I was wondering where it was from. Could you give information? Thanks…
Hello, do you wet the wheat in hot water?
You can soak it in hot water. Yours sincerely
I read it but I couldn't quite understand :) how many servings is this recipe?
I will be glad if you can help me how much pot I can cook the asure prepared to this extent easily.
Ms. Nilay, do we boil dried apricots and figs in water, or do we add them directly to the pot??
Thank you
I add it last before boiling. Love…
your recipe was really good, the cinnamon stick idea was really good.. my mother was very surprised how the color turned out so beautiful… thank you for your hard work…
When putting the chopped walnuts and hazelnuts into it, or should it be added whole?
I throw a little bit to get it in. I usually use it on.
No milk is put in ashura because there is no animal food in ashura.
It depends on everyone's belief. Yours sincerely
beautiful
I boil the wheat overnight and keep it covered until the morning, it swells very well, I add milk, ods gives whiteness in rose water, I like it very much I make it from 1 kg of wheat I make 80 bowls of lemon rendrliuorum the recipe is very good I write what I add in addition to it, pomegranate green pistachio coconut and stone bidet I decorate it with walnuts. It removes 3 kilos of sugar. I use the material a lot, anyway, I can't adjust less, my hand is used to it.
Hello Miss Nilay,
At what stage should we add walnuts and hazelnuts?
Also, what are the other ingredients (other than walnuts and currants) that you would recommend soaking in hot water so that the asurea does not turn black?
Hi Ayla, add them along with the currants. Adding the figs last will keep the ashura whiter.
Hello Ayla, I boil mulberry and small chopped figs in small containers and pour the water out. I never add to the soup. During the serving stage, I put it on the bottom of the bowls and add ashure on it. Add 1 liter of milk to 1 kg of beaten in one small detail, the same as the others. Our ashura is a little sweet, so my measurement is a little more than 500 gr. I add 2 kg of sugar to the tattoo. However, not everyone who has this desire may not like sweet desserts. May Allah accept it...
hi, i cook ashura with a big cauldron, i believe it will bring abundance to my home, i use seedless white grapes instead of currants, i don't use rice or starch, i keep the split in hot water, then when i wash it, the incredibly dirty water runs out and I put all the ingredients in hot water overnight, i add milk close to the descent, and it becomes white and delicious
