Undiluted Batırık is a concentrated Turkish bulgur dish made by mixing fine bulgur with tahini, walnuts, tomato, onion and spices, without adding water. It is served as a thick mixture rather than as the soup-like diluted version.
Knead fine bulgur with tomato, onion and spices until the mixture softens, then mix in tahini and walnuts. The vegetables provide moisture, while leaving out added water keeps undiluted Batırık thick; ingredient proportions vary among household recipes.
Undiluted Batırık has a thick, scoopable texture because no water is added; the diluted form is loosened into a soup-like dish. The two share the Batırık base, but the extra water changes how the dish is served and eaten.
No. Undiluted Batırık and kisir can both use fine bulgur and tomato, but Batırık is distinguished by ingredients such as tahini and walnuts. Their seasoning, preparation and final texture also differ, even when a particular household recipe varies.
No, undiluted Batırık is generally prepared without cooking it on the stove. Fine bulgur softens as it is kneaded with moist ingredients; letting the mixture rest briefly after kneading can help it reach a tender texture.
Undiluted Batırık is served as a thick mixture, usually cool or at room temperature, and eaten with a spoon or in small bites. It is not poured into a bowl and eaten like the more liquid version.
Batırık is especially associated with Mersin and nearby parts of southern Turkey. Recipes differ between communities and families, including how the bulgur is seasoned and whether water is added; undiluted Batırık keeps the mixture thick.
Undiluted Batırık can stay grainy if the fine bulgur has not absorbed enough moisture during kneading. Knead it longer with the tomato and onion, then let it rest briefly; adding water will change it toward the diluted style.
Keep undiluted Batırık in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days. Check its smell and appearance before serving, and discard it if it has been left at room temperature for a long time.
Yes, but freezing may affect its texture: tomato and onion can release liquid after thawing, making the mixture less firm. Freeze it in portions, thaw it in the refrigerator and stir before serving; freshly made Batırık usually has a better texture.

Undiluted Batırık is a dense, uncooked bulgur dish associated with southern Turkey, especially the Mersin area. Fine bulgur is worked together with tahini, walnuts, tomato, onion and spices; unlike the more soup-like version, this preparation has no added water. Its texture is pleasantly coarse, with a nutty sesame flavour and a little crunch from the walnuts.
It is often eaten as a meal or substantial snack, shaped or spooned into lettuce leaves and served with fresh vegetables and lemon. The bulgur and nuts give it a filling, fibre-containing profile: it provides 7.5 g of fibre per 100 g. Pair it with plenty of crisp greens for a fresher plate, or loosen the mixture with a little water if you prefer a softer consistency.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
