Kahramanmaras tarhana chips are crisp pieces made from fermented tarhana dough, a traditional Turkish preparation. The dough is dried and then baked or fried, so the finished snack is eaten crunchy rather than cooked into a soup.
Eat Kahramanmaras tarhana chips straight from the pack as a crunchy snack. They can also be served with dips or alongside a meal; unlike soup tarhana, they do not need to be rehydrated or cooked before eating.

Kahramanmaras tarhana chips are a crisp regional snack made by fermenting tarhana dough, shaping it into pieces and baking or frying them. They draw on the tangy, savoury tarhana tradition of Kahramanmaraş in southern Turkey, where tarhana is also commonly prepared as a soup ingredient.
Their crunchy texture and gently sour flavour make them easy to snack on by themselves or serve alongside soup. In Turkey, they may also be offered with tea; elsewhere, try them with a dip or as a crisp alternative to crackers. They are mostly carbohydrate, with 13 g of protein per 100 g, so a modest portion alongside yoghurt or vegetables makes a more balanced snack.
