Frequently Asked Questions About Cullama
What is Cullama?
Cullama is a traditional Turkish meat dish, commonly made with chicken and a thick mixture of flour, fat and cooking broth. The cooked meat is shredded or served with the flour-based sauce, giving the dish a rich, soft texture.
How do you make Cullama at home?
Cullama is made by cooking the meat, shredding it, and stirring flour toasted in fat with the cooking broth to form a thick sauce. Add the broth gradually while whisking, then combine the sauce with the meat and serve it hot.
Where does Cullama come from?
Cullama is particularly associated with Afyonkarahisar in Turkey. Afyon-style versions are commonly prepared with chicken and a flour-and-broth mixture, though recipes called Cullama can vary between households and regions.
Is Cullama made with chicken or another meat?
Chicken is the meat most commonly used in Cullama, especially in the version associated with Afyonkarahisar. It is usually boiled first and then shredded, so it blends easily into the thick sauce; other household versions may differ.
Why does the sauce in Cullama turn lumpy?
The sauce in Cullama turns lumpy when flour meets liquid unevenly or is not stirred enough. Whisk the broth into the toasted flour a little at a time, keeping the pan moving; strain the sauce if small lumps remain.
What does Cullama taste and feel like?
Cullama tastes savory and buttery, with tender shredded meat in a smooth, thick flour-based sauce. Its texture is closer to a hearty sauced meat dish than to a clear soup; the seasoning and richness vary with the recipe.
What is usually served with Cullama?
Cullama is usually served hot with simple sides such as rice, salad or pickles. A fresh, tangy side works especially well alongside its rich sauce, and the meal can be finished with bread for soaking up any sauce left on the plate.
Can you prepare Cullama ahead of time?
Yes, you can cook the meat and prepare the sauce for Cullama ahead of serving. Keep them covered in the refrigerator, then reheat gently and combine them; add a little broth if the sauce has thickened while chilling.
Can Cullama be frozen?
Yes, Cullama can be frozen in an airtight, freezer-safe container, although the flour-based sauce may separate or change texture after thawing. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat slowly while stirring, adding broth to smooth the sauce.
How do you keep Cullama from becoming too thick?
Keep Cullama from becoming too thick by adding the cooking broth gradually and stopping when the sauce is pourable. It firms up as it cools, so leave it slightly looser than you want on the plate if serving it later.

What is Cullama?
Cullama is a traditional Turkish regional dish in which cooked meat is combined with a thick mixture made from flour and fat. Some local recipes use chicken, and broth is often added to give the flour mixture flavour and a smooth, spoonable consistency; recipes vary by region.
It is served hot as a substantial main course, usually for lunch or dinner, rather than as a snack. A serving provides protein, while the flour and fat make it more filling than plain cooked meat. It pairs well with rice and a crisp salad or pickles; using a little less fat and adding fresh vegetables makes for a lighter meal.
