A yoghurt and chickpea soup holding two sizes of dumpling: large stuffed ones and small plain ones, the mother and the daughter that give the dish its name.
Analı kızlı translates as with mother and daughter, and the name describes the bowl rather than any legend: the large stuffed bulgur dumplings are the mothers, the small unstuffed ones the daughters. It belongs to the same family of yoghurt-based Gaziantep soups as yuvalama, and it is similarly a dish of occasions rather than a weekday plate. The stuffed dumplings carry minced lamb and walnut, the small ones are plain bulgur, and both go into a broth thickened with yoghurt and chickpeas. Hışvahan is one of the restaurants that keeps it on a permanent menu rather than making it only for feasts.
