About the dish

Guru khingal is a traditional ground meat dish originating from Azerbaijan. The dish is usually made with a combination of ground meat (lamb or beef), onions, butter, salt, pepper, yogurt, garlic, and homemade square-shaped noodles consisting of flour, eggs, and salt. The ground meat is fried in butter and seasoned with salt and pepper. The onions are chopped and fried in butter until golden brown, while the noodles are cooked right before serving. The noodles are served on individual plates, topped with melted butter, ground meat, and fried onions, and the dish is ready to be enjoyed, ideally with yogurt-garlic sauce on the side.
