Hasil Calories

Cook cracked wheat in water until the grains are very tender and the mixture is thick, stirring occasionally so it does not stick. Add hot water if it becomes too dense before the wheat is cooked, then serve it warm.

Hasil is usually made with coarsely cracked wheat, often called yarma or dövme in Turkish. It is not typically made with fine bulgur, which cooks more quickly and gives the dish a different texture.

Hasil is generally a thick boiled-wheat dish, while keskek is cooked for a long time and pounded until it becomes more cohesive and smooth. Keskek is often made with meat and served at communal celebrations; Hasil is usually simpler.

Yes, yogurt is a common accompaniment to Hasil. It is usually served on the side or added to the wheat at the table, so the hot, thick dish can be enjoyed with a cool, tangy contrast.

Hasil is served hot, often with a hollow made in the center for melted butter. Yogurt is commonly served alongside it. Regional and family customs differ, so the butter and yogurt may be added directly or kept separate.

Yes, a pressure cooker can cook the cracked wheat for Hasil until tender, but it needs less water and time than an uncovered pot. Follow your cooker’s instructions, release pressure safely, and add hot water if the finished dish is too thick.

Yes, you can serve Hasil without butter, although melted butter is a familiar traditional topping. Try it with yogurt and herbs instead, or add a small amount of olive oil for a lighter-tasting version.

Refrigerate leftover Hasil in a covered container once it has cooled, and eat it within a few days. Keep yogurt and butter separate until serving; they are easier to add after reheating the wheat.

Yes, plain Hasil can be frozen in portions, although thawing may make its texture softer. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat gently; stir in a little water if the wheat has thickened. Add yogurt after reheating.
