ekleminin

Ekleminin is a traditional Turkish dish that is often served as a side dish or a main course. The name "ekleminin" is derived from the Turkish word "eklem," which means "joint," and "nin," a possessive suffix. The dish is named after its distinctive shape, which resembles a joint or a hinge.

The primary ingredients of ekleminin are ground meat, typically beef or lamb, mixed with a variety of spices and herbs. Common spices include cumin, coriander, paprika, and black pepper. The meat mixture is then formed into small, round patties and cooked in a pan until browned. These patties are then placed in a baking dish and topped with a layer of mashed potatoes, which is then baked until golden and crispy.

Ekleminin is often served with a side of yogurt or a tomato-based sauce. The dish is popular in Turkey and is often enjoyed during special occasions and family gatherings. Its unique shape and flavor make it a distinctive part of Turkish cuisine.
