About Yarma

Ýarma is a Turkmen wheat-groat porridge with meat. Bayramgül’s rendition combines lamb, onion and the broth from the meat with a substantial quantity of wheat groats.

Salt provides the stated seasoning, while vegetable oil carries the softened onion flavour. The lamb contributes savoury richness throughout the cereal base, giving the porridge a hearty character.

The wheat swells into a thick, spoonable mixture with pieces of meat distributed through it. The result is a simple bowl of soft grain and lamb, with a consistency that brings broth and cereal together.
