Hatay Style Sterile

For 20 years, I have been making bulgur by soaking bulgur in water and roasting tomato paste with onions, following my mother's recipe. 

This time I tried to make it with the recipe given to me by Auntie Bediş from Hatay. 

Even while preparing Hatay Style Sterile We talked about it, some people add garlic but not cumin. Some people knead it dry without water and swell it with tomato sauce. Some people knead for a long time, sprinkling water from time to time. I liked this method very much too. I definitely recommend you to try it.
