Ingredients:
- about 1 waterglass of green lentils
- up to 1 kilograms of potatoes
- 750 grams of fine bulgur
- 1 chopped onion
- tomato and pepper salçası
- black pepper, cumin, red pepper (kırmızı pul biberi)
- lots of olive oil or butter
Preparation:
- Boil the green lentils in an amount of water that is just enough for the bulgur (sorry, ´decision of the eye´, göz kararı!)
- boil the potatoes
- once the lentils are cooked well, take it off the stove, empty the bulgur in the pan and close the lid, let the bulgur take up the water of the lentils
- crush the boiled potatoes
- mix the crushed potatoes together with the lentils/bulgur-mix.
- heat the oil (lots of oil  in a frying pan and fry the onion, then add the tomato and pepper paste. Stir well
- Turn off the heat and add cumin, black pepper and red pepper.
- Pour this mixture over the crushed potatoes/lentils/bulgur mix and knead until you have a rather firm ´dough´
- shape it into small ´balls´ (the shape should be like somewhat in the picture, though I learnt it from my mother-in-law-to-be, so no peppers as you see in picture)
In addition: you can heat up some more oil and season it with isot pepper, red pepper, or anything you like. It is nice to dip the balls into seasoned oil and then eat 
Afiyet olsun!
