Iam turkish and WE def dont Cook Like this. Raw onions in meat No go.and the meat needs some fat or turkish tomato Paste . And we dont use greek yoghurt. That dish called Fake manti. There IS No turkish noodle AS a Name.
this is not a Turkish pasta!!!!!!!! We shouldn't even bother cooking such a lame recipe. We make much nicer and more special recipes. In a recipe using yogurt, there's no curry; we use cumin instead.
Pasta i mean spagetti is Italian. Menemen, çılbır, kuymak, imam bayıldı, hünkar beğendi and thousands of other dishes from breakfast to midnight are available yet you call that a Turkish pasta. This is blasphemy…
Americans are advertised yogurt is Greek… Cause Greek frame it that way… Juts like they try to steal every recipe of our Turkish Palace Cuisine they stole Yogurt in first place. Even yogurt (Yoğurt) word is Turkish… And actually so called Greek Yogurts name in Turkish is (Kese Yoğurdu) it is a thick creamy yogurt that we have been using on hundreds of appetizer Mezes. And the recipe you have shown in video is actually not a pasta but in Turkish we call it (Easy Fake Mantı) original Turkish name is Yalancı Manti
Just to note yoghurt is called yoğurt in Turkish and it comes from old Turks. The word comes from yog/yoğur-mak = to knead ( such as to knead dough , knead milk , kneading..) But somehow it was marketed and renowned 'Greek Yoghurt '
As a Turkish person I’m honestly shocked, because we don’t cook it like that. Let me explain the proper way. If the ground meat is lean, you can add a little olive oil or butter. Once the meat is cooked (but not crispy) and the onions turn translucent, we add tomato paste. If you don’t have tomato paste, you can use tomato purée or grated tomatoes instead.
For the garlic yogurt: if it’s a small portion, 1 clove of garlic is enough; for a large portion, 2 cloves will do. Don’t forget the salt, and don’t add water to the yogurt — just mix it well so it becomes smooth on its own.
For the topping sauce, melt a little butter and add chili flakes. Dried mint also goes very well into the butter sauce. If you don’t want to use dried mint, you can finely chop a bit of parsley into the tomato-meat sauce instead.
Hmmm, it’s a pass for me. It’s probably ok and given a 12 minute cook I can’t complain too much but if that’s the outcome I’d invest a few more minutes in my dinner.
You can’t make Turkish pasta with Greek yogurt. It has to be with Turkish yogurt coz the density is different. Greek yogurt is denser and fit for desserts.
You dont have to add salt to Greek Yoghurt, just get Turkish Yoghurt and try with it. The taste will be better because salt is not added into yogurt additionally from outside

I feel like adding sliced black olives to this would be soooooo good
That part about garlic in your yogurt is classic. I do that too automatically and no one ever taught me. Then again I’m a turk

Afghans do a similar dish, I love it, it's my favourite.
LITERALLY THE WORD "YOGURT" ETYMOLOGY IS FROM TURKISH.
Fun fact: you can't find a Greek yogurt in Turkey 😀
Greek yogurt on a Turkish meal? More like whipped cream on Bolognese.
it looks disgusting
