Aush-e Gandom (cracked wheat soup)

Instructions

1. Bring the water or stock to a boil in a large pot and add the cracked wheat.
2. Simmer gently for about 35 minutes, stirring regularly, until the wheat is tender.
3. Meanwhile, slice one onion and fry it in 2 tablespoons of oil until deep golden and crispy, then set it aside.
4. In a bowl, mix the yogurt with the flour and a little hot water to get a smooth mixture.
5. Pour this into the pot and stir constantly for 5 minutes to avoid lumps.
6. In a small pan, fry the second sliced onion and crushed garlic in the remaining oil, then add the dried mint.
7. Season the aush with salt, pepper and chili, then serve hot, topped with the fried onion and the minty mixture, with chopped coriander.
