Welcome to my kitchen. Today, I will make a Hünkar Beğendi recipe.

2

I will show the ingredients: 400 grams of cubed meat, 1 tomato, 1 large green pepper, 1 large onion, and 3 cloves of garlic.

3

I added half a tea glass of sunflower oil to the pan.

4

Now I want to add the onions and cook them.

5

Next, I will add the meat and let it absorb the juice.

6

I will add the green pepper now.

7

Then, I add 1 teaspoon of pepper paste, 1 teaspoon of red pepper powder, half a teaspoon of black pepper, and salt.

8

I added the tomatoes and garlic and will cook these ingredients.

9

I cooked the ingredients exactly the way I wanted.

10

Now, I added 300 ml of boiling water and will continue to cook these ingredients on low heat.

11

Next, I will prepare the eggplants. I will use 5 eggplants.

12

I cut off the heads of the eggplants and pierce them with the tip of a knife.

13

I will cook the eggplants with an air fryer at 200 degrees for half an hour.

14

The eggplants look cooked now.

15

I continue cooking the meat and see that the water in the pot is decreasing, so I will cook it some more.

16

I turned up the heat and added 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.

17

I added 1 and a half tablespoons of flour and want to roast the flour a little.

18

I added the cooked eggplants to the mixture.

19

I will continue to cook these ingredients and added salt and pepper.

20

Now, I want to add the milk slowly, starting with half a tea glass of milk.

I added 70 grams of grated cheddar cheese and will cook until the cheese melts.

22

I continue to cook the ingredients on low heat.

23
