About the dish

Sulu khingal is a traditional meat soup originating from Azerbaijan. The dish is usually made with a combination of lamb or beef, onions, chickpeas, turmeric, butter, mint, vinegar, salt, and square-shaped homemade noodles consisting of flour, eggs, and salt. The meat is sliced into pieces and boiled in water with chickpeas, turmeric, and salt. Homemade noodles are added to the pot near the end of cooking. The meat soup is simmered until the noodles are tender, and it’s then garnished with onions fried in butter and chopped mint before serving. Vinegar is typically served on the side so that each person can season the soup to their liking.
