Mercimek Köftesi are traditional lentil balls from Turkey that just happen to be vegan. They are not only packed with flavours from spices and herbs, but they are also a complete protein thanks to the combination of bulgur and lentils.

  1. That's a really cool recipe you got their. You just don't stop after you do your cooking you say the history, need and values for the recipe you have given. That's really good.
    I appreciate your efforts.

  2. Great Video! I really enjoyed watching it and I will definitly try to make these.
    I also like how you describe every step of the recepie. ❤

  3. Just found your channel and you upload a dish from my country. Miracle… Also most of the çiğköfte you will find in turkey is meatless, original recipe has meat but if they don't spesify by saying etli çiğköfte it is meatless

  4. Love your vids and explanations. Something like this is just what I’ve been looking for, especially for eating smaller amounts more frequently. Thanks 🙏🏻

  9. oh man, i dont know you for long, and i am sad, i saw a cig köfte video before this one. I made them, but you have to knead them. i love to try Mercimek Köftesi not only because i like lentils, but also they don´t need kneading XD

  14. Hello 👋 Assalamu Alakom Brother Excellent Upload Watching 👀 Here Ma Sha Allah 👍 Sharing Amazing Content Keep It Up Have A Nice Weekend 👋😊

  15. god, can we stop calling traditional food "vegan"? they're not made as a substitute for animal products, they're just plant-based food we eat alongside animal products.

  16. Koftas is not a turkish word. It was borrowed during the Ottoman empire from the south asia and it doesn't mean meatballs.
