Çökertme Kebab (Bodrum Kebab)

Hello Dear Friends,
Today I have a recipe that will make you feel like a holiday at home :) Çökertme Kebab, Çentik Kebab or Bodrum Kebab with its other name is a flavor I love.
It is interesting that I tasted this beautiful kebab for the first time in Istanbul, and I didn't like it very much because of its hard meat like straps and burnt potatoes. However, I gave the steaks added to the harmony of garlic yogurt, tomato sauce and potatoes a chance to try again later.
The first time I tried it at home, I marinated the finely chopped meat, and the result was very good. Of course, I chose the potatoes from the fries.
Normally, I'm one of those people who prefer garlic yoghurt to fries rather than mayonnaise. Instead of ketchup, tomato sauce, which I simply cook at home, is my first choice.
I'm thinking of adding this recipe to one of my iftar menus that I will prepare in the coming days, but as a matter of fact, this kebab would be a menu on its own :)
In the meantime, I will add the short video I took while preparing the recipe to the recipe during the day.
Love…

Hello, I'm working, I want something ready when I come back from work, if I marinate it and put it in the deep-freeze in portions, will it be a problem when it comes out?
Hello Zahide, you need to wait longer and soften the meat. Otherwise it will be harsh, I think this is not a very suitable recipe. You can consider meatball recipes instead. love.
Can we use the meat of Çökerten kebab from lamb arm?
What vinegar is the vinegar you use?
You can use apples or grapes.
Hello, first of all good luck to you. Can we do the same construction steps using ribeye instead of steak?
Chicken fillet instead of meat
is it okay?
It's possible. Yours sincerely
What to eat next to körkertme kebab, my friends will come to iftar on Sunday, can you help me?
You can try this menu. Yours sincerely http://mutfaksirlari.com/2014-iftar-menusu-5-gun.html
It's me again :) If I'm going to make 6 people, will I use 2 times all your sizes? For example: 2 tbsp tomato paste in tomato sauce, such as 2 glasses of tomato grated
There's no harm in doing a lot. Have it twice.
Thank you
How many people was the 300 g steak? I'm planning to make it for 6 people
for an average of 2-3 people.
Nilay, my sister (Gamze) cooked this dinner for us at the weekend, she invited me to dinner for my birthday, but she wanted to do something different. The result was perfect. We all liked it very much. Thanks for the recipe too.
I made the meat, it was very good. How can we make the chicken, is it necessary to marinate?
PERFECT HEALTH FOR YOUR HANDS
Hello,
I also make this kebab at home. Instead of tomato sauce, I burn chili peppers in butter and drizzle over potatoes, yogurt, and meat. It's very nice. Those who do not eat red meat can also make it with chicken. I will try the Marinade of the Meat.
Thanks
Dear Nilay, thank you very much. I will definitely try this too.
Hello there; I'm newlywed, I've never marinated meat before. After waiting for a few hours, I did not know whether we should pour vinegar water and wash the meat, or if we should strain it directly and saute it in oil. I will be glad if you help. thanks..
Drain and sauté the meat. love.
mrb did you say vinegar, which apple face should be preferred or does it matter if you are interested, thanks
Hello, you can use whatever you have at home.
I included it in our menu tonight, and it was really delicious. The taste of the meat was amazing :)
I tried it and everyone in the house fainted.
Hello, first of all, you need to stick to the recipe. Meat is the highlight. We marinated the meat as described above, while marinating, we rubbed it with the ingredients before placing it in the fridge. After keeping it in the refrigerator for 3 4 hours, we separated the meat from the other marinade ingredients and cooked it directly on high heat in light butter. The meat should not be dried too much. However, the marinade ingredients in Yuraki were very suitable, the meat was tender and very tasty. We tried Çökertme kebab at home for the first time, it was really better than the outside, thanks for the recipe.
Good day, your recipe is very good and I want to make it for my friends, but how good is it if we cook the meat directly in oil, is it okay if we cook it a little to absorb the water first and then fry it?
If you boil the meat, it will be tasteless.
Hello, should we sauté the marinated meat with its stuffing?
Hello, if you only buy the meat, it will be better from inside. Onions may burn because they will be cooked before the meat.
Would it be bad if there was ground meat instead of meat?
Then it would be a kebab with meatballs on skewers, but not a cracker kebab. You can use any combination you want.
Can't we cook the meat in a pressure cooker? It is soft in the pressure cooker…
No, you can't make a kebab with boiled meat. If you cook it by boiling, it will be another dish, its name is not cracker kebab.
yes, how can I chop it like that, is it possible on a grater?
Not in color. Potatoes become like hash browns when you try to fry them and they burn. You can chop it with a knife.
hello, I want to try it but I'm afraid that the meat will not be cooked, I wonder how it would be if I boiled it beforehand.
Marinate for 1-2 hours with finely chopped marinade material. Don't boil it, it won't taste good.
how to cut potatoes like this, I wonder if there is a practical method
