Hello Dear Friends,
Our nostalgic ashura adventure, which started in Eminönü on Monday, was quite enjoyable. We bought our materials by stopping by 2-3 shops different from the Egyptian bazaar. Afterwards, while we were there, we relieved the tiredness of the journey with the medium coffee we drank against the Galata Tower. When we returned home in the afternoon, we immediately soaked our legumes so that they were ready for the soup we will boil the next morning.
The ashura we prepared this year is exactly the ashura of my childhood. This recipe, inherited from my grandmother to my aunt, is now on my blog so that you and I will never lose it again :)
There were many more varieties in the ashura that I prepared in previous years, but as I said, this year we are making a plain and pure white ashura of our family. We also use our pressure cooker very effectively for those who want to save time.
Those who want to get a total of 12 bowls from this recipe can prepare 24 bowls of ashura by double their size. For those who are going to boil aşure for the first time, my suggestion is that they make 1 measure and then you can cook it again if you want.
Remember, we do not pour the legumes we use for boiling in this recipe. We only filter the bitter juice of the orange peels after boiling. When boiling the oranges, it is enough to add enough water to cover the top by 1 finger.
You can watch the video of the recipe here.
Bon appetit to my followers who are waiting for the recipe and will try it :) May their homes be filled with blessings!
Love…
Note: I will upload the video of the recipe as soon as possible on both our mail and youtube channel.

- Open the bottom of the pot on the medium-sized burner of your stove and at the lowest setting, and let it cook slowly.

- When it is lightly crusted, garnish with pine nuts, currants, walnuts and pomegranate seeds and serve.
I made a soup for the first time in my life, since we are two people, I made half a measure, I reduced the sugar a little and added a few dried figs because I love it very much and the result was great. In our opinion, we will reduce the orange and sugar a little, increase the chickpeas and add roasted peanuts, and we will reach our ideal ashura. Thank you very much for your sharing, it is practical and easy. I have grown both the laundry, the vegetable dish and the soup until noon. There is no need to worry. the consistency was awesome. Since our elders passed away, we haven't been able to eat good ashura for years. Few can actually make this dessert. I'm so glad we loved it.
Hello, I have been making aşure using your recipe for 4 years. I add 5 g of peeled almonds in the last 500 minutes. It's perfect. Thank you very much for your recipe.
I wash 500 g of wheat well in the evening and put it in the pot, add 10 glasses of water and boil it ( 5 ) minutes later, I close the lid and don't wait until the morning, it gets swollen in the morning.
Hello, first of all, good luck with your hands.
There is something I want to ask about the recipe: I wonder if we use the boiling water of the legumes, will it not cause swelling? Or is it just an urban legend?
Hello, after filtering the soaking water, I use the boiling water for ashura. If I boil legumes in normal meals, I drain the water. Yours sincerely
Hello, I'm going to make asure for the first time and I want to make your recipe. If I don't cook the wheat, chickpeas and beans in the lips, will I have any problems keeping the consistency?
Hello, Elif, you will not have any problems after boiling them separately. Yours sincerely
As someone who hasn't made ashura before, I applied your recipe by using 2 times the measurements. Everyone loved it, most of them wanted the 2nd bowl :) I will make the 2nd batch tomorrow. Thank you so much…
I'm very happy with your health :) May it be fruitful, love :)
Hello, I follow you fondly, I even think of a meal etc. If I need to get an idea when it comes to me, I definitely visit your page. As someone who has never made ashura before in my life, I visited your page again and followed your recipe exactly. The result was great like all the other recipes… Thanks for sharing, Good luck to you…
It was definitely not like in your video, it was runny at the end of 2 hours and when I cooled it and put the decoration materials, it sank into it, so it didn't even form a crust. Maybe it is wheat, I don't know, I wonder if I should have used 250 gr wheat instead of 500 gr?
There have been many who have tried and they have never experienced it. All were satisfied with the recipe and the measurements. Do not play with the measurements for this recipe, it will be like rice. 500 gr. You can try this recipe that I prepared in a normal pot to make http://mutfaksirlari.com/asure-3.html
Hello. I made your recipe in full measure, even though I boiled it for more than two hours, it was like a soup and did not thicken. It was also very sugary. I was wondering how thick yours was, Ms. Nilay :(
Hello, Ms. Birgül, I was very surprised, I wonder if it is caused by wheat? As you can see in the video, there was no problem. It is not like Ashura pudding, but if it does, it will become like concrete when it cools. It gets thicker as it cools. Don't let the heat fool you. Yours sincerely
Hello, I tried your recipe three years ago, it didn't get thick. I did it again this year with the same measurements. It was very nice. Good luck with your effort ♥️
Good luck to your hands, as you try, your hands and eyes get used to the required consistency. Yours sincerely
