I always see plantain in the supermarkets. Finally I tried. It was an interesting experience.

I did not know that the plantain I bought was raw, and I need to wait for quite some time. When I fried them, there were still some raw parts. I should say that eating a raw plantain was not a big pleasure, even it was cooked.

Kashkek (keşkek) is another traditional Turkish dish that is usually served in big gatherings. It is usually served with meat, like gravy. It's texture is a little thicker than the gravy.

The preparation is tedious and takes some time. At least I was thinking that way, and did not even try earlier. Last month, when I was talking to my mom, she gave me this recipe. It is really easy. You cook the wheat slowly, add cold water when necessary, and do your other tasks.
