Instructions
Step 1: In a wide non-stick saucepan, add the finely chopped green peppers with a splash of water instead of oil, and sauté over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until soft.
Step 2: Stir in your choice of crushed tomatoes (or diluted tomato paste) along with the cayenne pepper, ground ginger, ground turmeric, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Let it simmer for 2 minutes so the spices release their full aroma.
Step 3: Add the fine bulgur and the finely grated potato directly into the pot, mixing thoroughly with the spiced tomato base.
Step 4: Pour in 2 cups of hot water or vegetable broth, give it a good stir, and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Step 5: Cover the pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 5-7 minutes until the bulgur absorbs the liquid and the grated potato melts into a rich, comforting, and oil-free consistency.
Step 6: Turn off the heat and let it rest covered for 5 minutes to fully steam.
Step 7: Serve warm in bowls, accompanied by a generous side of fat-free plain yogurt or a cold glass of traditional ayran to balance the spices and protect your stomach!
Chef's Tip
For the ultimate digestive comfort, always serve this spicy dish with a cold glass of traditional ayran or a side of plain yogurt. The dairy acts as a natural buffer, coating your stomach lining to completely prevent any potential heartburn from the powerful metabolism-boosting spices.
About This Dish
Combining fine bulgur and grated potatoes in a single oil-free pot creates a fiber-rich, stomach-friendly meal designed to warm you up, boost metabolism, and keep you feeling full for hours.
