Make Turkish Delight At Home! | Delicious and The Easiest Lokum Recipe
Today, I’ll show you how to make pistachio Turkish delight, or Lokum. Anyone who comes to Istanbul, one of the thing they take back is Turkish Delight! You might think it's really hard to do, but using simple ingredients, you can create this soft and nutty treat right in your kitchen. Perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own, this recipe brings the traditional taste of Turkish sweets to your home. Impress your friends and family with this authentic and delicious treat!
Turkish Delight
1 kg. granulated sugar
1 liter of water, 4.5 cups
4 gr. cream of tartar
1 g lemon salt
200 gr. wheat starch, 2 cups
200 g pistachios
Powdered sugar
• Pour granulated sugar and water into a medium-sized pot, stir and boil.
• After it starts to boil, add cream of tartar and mix.
• Sift the wheat starch and crush it with 1 cup of water until it becomes smooth.
• Remove the mixture from the heat and add the starch water mixture, stirring until it is well combined.
• Put the pot back on low heat.
• Condense for at least 15 minutes, always stirring in the same direction and at the same speed.
• There are three tests to understand that the Turkish delight has reached its perfect consistency.
Test 1: If the part of the Turkish delight extending from the spoon remains thin, long and pointed when you lift the spoon, it is not done. If it is thicker and falls into balls, it is cooked.
Test 2: Pour some granulated sugar on 1 spoon of the mixture, if it still absorbs the sugar and becomes transparent, it is not done yet. If the sugar stays as it is, it's done.
Test 3: Drop a piece of the mixture into ice water, if it looks soft and tends to melt, it means it hasn't happened yet. If it has a structure that maintains its shape and does not melt, it is done.
• When the Turkish delight is ready, prepare the tray in which you will pour it before you start cooking.
• Lay baking paper on a tray, sprinkle starch on it, pour the Turkish delight and spread it roughly.
• Then sprinkle some more starch and cover the baking paper on the Turkish delight.
• Use a rolling pin or wet your hands and roll it out to a thickness of one and a half centimeters and smooth the top.
• After waiting for it to cool down thoroughly, chop it as you wish.
• Sprinkle powdered sugar and starch on top by mixing equal amounts. It can be eaten this way for about four to five months without any problems.

What a great presentation! I never heard of ayran before today. It is an ingredient in Gypsy Okroshki - a Russian recipe on youtube [czcams.com/video/X3Iiv3FJQHI/video.html]. We have all the ingredients in Australia except ayran, hence my google search found you. As well as answering my initial question, you've intrigued me to broaden my horizons by trying your suggestions and experiment further. Thank you!
This is sooooo easy to do! How fantastic is that?! And look what the result is! Fabulous! Thank you Rifika!
perfection!
love it... keep it up Rafika!

Omg this woman is adorable. I want to be her neighbour.

you cook the meat frozen?
Refika!!! That is a sword not a knife 😳 😅😅❤❤❤
تشکر❤
Hi Refika, have any of your cookery books been published in English?
Have just found you.... sounds fabulous!!!!! Thx!!!
WOW! This makes me soooo hungry! I haven’t had a fabulous meal like this since I left Chicago! Now I can make it myself!
Can you bake them?
I wanna see Burak make a Borek 🤣
Interesting without cumin and coriander. I will try
Love Refika!!!🌺
MY favorite Greek candy! We have a local Greek store in my town and they’re always out of the fresh. The kind in a box is never as good as home-made! CAn’t wait to try this.
You need to lose weight babes ? You use to look real sexy but gravity has taken over
Love this and love your channel!
Good job fantastic presentation🎉
Everyone feeds someone else 😂
great
Why does my soya yoghurt look grainy? Barbara
Hi Refika Thanks for this recipe. Is there any way you can do a recipe using honey instead of sugar? We used to buy lokum from Hafeez Mustafa and i was told some of their lokum had honey, so I bought it
This looks so good! Would you recommend Greek yogurt or labneh or something else?
Kitty 😻
Ok, but I like with rose or lemon taste.
Wow
I cannot forget the taste of turkish delight in Bursa .
Kaymaklı nasıl yaparız bu lokumu? 🥹
Looks delicious but very fattening. This will give me a heart attack!
Thank you Refika for honoring our Mexican food in your channel. Regards from Mexico.😋🇲🇽
The dua at the end of your video was lovely Refika and this looks easy to make. I hated the Big Turk chocolate bar but real lokum is delicious! Eid mubarak to you and your team canim!
Do you have to fry? Can you bake them instead?
Of course you can - just use an air fryer! 👋♥️
Can corn starch be used instead of wheat starch? It’s always a pleasure to watch you Refika
That looks SO good! But what’s this about feeding 12 people? I think not….i want it all to myself! 😋😋
That looks amazing 🤩 Bravo 🙌
Refika good job I like it.
Thank you for you knowledge and experience.
I use soy to make yogurt with no sugar. And it works!
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍 I am going to make this bread tomorrow.
Great
Sounds delightful!
Life sucks when you cannot have fried food lol! For me I rather just have it once in a while not often but definitely I love deep fried better than air fryer
Noisy, rushed, disjointed...hopefully end result worth it
these are really great recipes
