oriental-spicy
First, prepare the yogurt dip. Crush the garlic and mix it with the yogurt. Season everything with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Optionally, you can also grate some cucumber. Then let the dip simmer. Fry the minced meat very quickly in the pan; it should be really crumbly and have plenty of roasted flavors. Then mix in the tomato paste, which will coat the minced meat like a film, adding freshness and fruitiness. To achieve the typical oriental flavor, season the minced meat generously with cumin and pepper. The cumin flavor should be really present, almost overpowering. This will be neutralized later with the yogurt. Adjust the spiciness to your taste with chili powder. It’s best to go a little hotter; it should have a slight sting. The yogurt at the end will take some of the scorching off. Meanwhile, cook the noodles and drain in a sieve. Now add the minced meat to the noodles and pour over the garlic yogurt. Stir the dish together before serving to combine the flavors.
