Cherie Adams Not in this recipe, but my cousin who loves British baking but isn’t that experienced couldn’t figure out why a recipe me made went terribly wrong.
Oh my god if someone tried to use flour that would be a disaster. I've never made it but I've cooked with cornstarch before. It reacts completely differently than flour
Ashen Rose I cooked Turkish Delight yesterday and followed this recipe. I actually used corn flour(not knowingly that it should be corn starch) and it turned out bad. Hahaha
for anyone who doesn't have cream of tartar like i didn't, for every 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar use 1 teaspoon of lemon juice so for this recipe it says 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar so that means 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. It works perfectly and my Turkish delight turned out perfect!
@@suzanaonima4363 Cream of tartar, or potassium bitartrate, is a byproduct of wine making. It is used in cooking for improving whipped egg whites, whipped cream, preventing boiled vegetables from discoloring or, in this case, preventing sugar syrup from forming large crystals. It's also good for cleaning metals, when mixed with various other substances. Wikipedia has more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_bitartrate
For those who complaining about too much sugar, it is served with Turkish coffee ( Turkish coffee is bitter) that's why this has to be sweet to balance the bitterness of coffee. They can even give one one or two cubes for a cup of Turkish coffee.
honeylemon it’s a “candy” not a culture 🤣🤣🤣 and it does taste like sweet cheap perfume. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, including ones that don’t like it.
The reason this is important in the Narnia Chronicles is because this is the sweet that Edmund snitched on his entire family for. This is the metaphorical forbidden fruit in the garden or the thirty pieces of silver
@@leavemealone2898 beautiful story actually . the love of suleiman and Hurrem. but after death of Mustafa i felt devastated too.. followed the death of Zihanger and Bayezid.
I live in the US and remember at a very young age...about 4... getting to have some Turkish Delight at the house of a friend of my parents'. I am 49 years old and it was the one and only time I have ever tried it, or come across it in the US. I have looked for the candies as well as a recipe every since I became an adult as I did fall in love with that stuff when I had it so long ago!! It made such an impact on me at the time, I never forgot my love of it's flavor and texture and I never forgot the name. I wouldn't have known whether or not it had vanilla or essence of rose water at the time, like I would have know if I had it now, but I would bet it was the rose water, as I have NEVER tasted ANYTHING that even came close to reminding me of the candy!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!!! Much love and many blessings!!!!!!!
In the US they are usually sold in Middle Eastern stores and Amazon and that's where you also buy the rose water. I grew up with lokum or loukoumia but I always bought them pre-made, so now I want to make my own.
Aplets and cotlets from liberty orchards is our version of this candy style. They’re usually available this time of year and you don’t have to make them at home :)
@Tomb Raider Thank you ;-)! The stuff is the bomb! I'm going to make my family(my adult children) some next week. They've never had it, because I didn't have the recipe, and the area I live in is rural and in a different state and so ethnic foods are much harder to find here!
I can't believe so many people have never heard of this or thought it only existed in narnia ! Go to Turkey my friends you can get it in about 50 different flavours there 😃
Rose flavoured is still the best flavour, in my humble opinion. I'm not at all biased, from having loved eating rose flavoured turkish delight as a treat for the last 35 years or so :) 50 different flavours does sound pretty good though, and Turkey would be an amazing country to visit and tour.
I'm English and we have Turkish delight here. Maybe it's just the Americans that don't know what it is or have never had it. I personally love Turkish delight and it's my nan's favourite. I still can't get over people not knowing what Turkish delight is.
@@user-rq6qd9ki9c - No, we have them here too... But they're not popular because they're seen as old fashioned & weird. I love the rose water & pistachio TDs. So good! The young kids have no idea what they're missing out on & prefer the horrible, cheap chocolate crap candy instead.
Something about the fragrant perfumy flavour of the TD you get in the UK that I find unappealing. I would be interested to try other flavours, could someone tell me of the other flavours, their best choices??? Be interested to maybe make some.
@Rudraksh Joshi Ohk, so I understood that u haven't watched THE FALCON & THE WINTER SOLDIER series. Iam sure u had watched Avengers infinity war & Endgame, or atleast heard of it! The series is amazing!!!

Yes, I agree. Tastes much better with rose water; not everyone likes it, but at least give the option when making the recipe. If you have the concentrated rose water, a few drops is probably enough, if not, then you may need a teaspoon or two.
@@sleepyheadfpv1507 I was wondering the same thing, because the thought of eating something that tastes like roses is... unpleasant to me. This seems like the kind of thing you could flavor pretty much any way you want, it just wouldn't be proper Turkish delight anymore. I make homemade cinnamon candy, hard candy like a Jolly Rancher or a sucker, and no matter what flavor you want to make it, the recipe is identical except for what flavor of oil you decide to use at the end. It can just as easily be butterscotch or cherry or green apple, whatever you want that day. Now that I've seen this I really want to play around with the recipe and see how it works out. I love gummy type candy but I've never made it.
I would suppose that you can add both - like when you add vanilla flavor to a chocolate cake. If you have the good rose-water which I like more than the diluted - a drop or two should be enough. If you add too much, it gets bitter. Maybe that's why in the west (to the best of my knowledge) they sell mostly the diluted stuff where you add a teaspoon or so. Often - like one person pointed out - they have different colors for different flavors. I like the color less red, but if that's the one with rose-water so I'll buy that one. I also think that there are other recipes that are less sugary, but I just buy the stuff at the store.
@@carlataylor2983 Totally agree. When I saw vanilla essence, I was like, whaaat? Rosewater is the only thing I've ever known it to be made with. I haven't had Turkish Delight since I was a kid. I miss it.
Like Sarah said, rose water has no flavor. It is purely for olfactory benefits. A large component of what we attribute to "taste" is also smell. Anyway, I used to eat creamed ice with rose water added.
Reminds of my school days as a young girl. I would buy from time to time from a small shop infront of my school. Thar was about 50 yrs ago, but I haven't forgotten how lovely it was. Still pining to taste it again.
I made half of a recipe and I think I may have over cooked it a little bit so it’s slightly more stiff than I anticipated. But it’s still so yummy and soft, and my family loves it, thank you!
I mean, during WWII with the rations going on, and also with sugar being extremely expensive and highly rationed, especially when we consider the character who did it was a kid, I'd have to disagree lol
I just tried this and it's the best thing I've ever made. One change - you said to cook on a low flame for 45 minutes to reduce the mixture, but on my induction, a setting of 5 (out of 9) wasn't enough. I had to cook for another 20 minutes at 7, occasionally pumping it to 8/9, for it to turn brown. The clean-up was surprisingly effortless, especially if you keep on top of it during the cook. Have a sink full of soapy hot water before you start. :) Thanks so much. Going to experiment with other flavours soon.
When I was a kid I thought this food does not exist😂 because..NARNIA yeh Edit: AFTER A YEAR AM BACK IN THIS COMMENT SECTION WITH 1K LIKES HAHAHAH.. So yeah about this comment. Thank you for those who understood and explained it further. When I was younger, I thought it was a made up food, so clueless little me just assume it doesn't really exist coz it's fictional. I'm also not too familiar about this food because It's not available here.
Hi my brother/sister, I’m a Turkish and really glad to see that you watch a video about our traditional Turkish Delight🥰 you can eat them with Turkish coffee ☕️ thank you🤞🏽
As a native Turkish, to be honest you made me suprized because I wouldn't expect that you make that much similar to orijinal Turkish Delight which is called in Turkish "Lokum". Congratulations
I live 1 1/2 hrs from Jungle Jim's and every now and then they sell Mastic Turkish Delight. That is my favorite. Every time I go to Jungle Jim's it is a loukum haul, even my boys bring me some when they go there, lol!
My final cooking never resulted with a medium amber color. I cooked it on low setting for 35 minutes (wear kitchen gloves. This stuff is thick and stiff...I got a blister on the side of my thumb after about 10 minutes) then cranked the flame up for the last ten minutes and it only turned a light amber color. (Could be the computer monitor settings.) Once I put it in a pan it was so thick I could barely spread it around. I sprinkled sesame seeds on top and pressed it down with my hands to get it to be uniform. I didn't have rose essence or any candy flavoring so I used orange extract. I also used distilled vinegar because I didn't have any lemon juice...hence the orange extract because you could taste the acidic from the vinegar . It turned out perfect. I will make it again for Christmas and actually buy the rose candy flavoring and maybe a couple other exotics and some nuts.
@@djwjdjjsjdiiwidjwi9631 I meant Arab as people who live in the Arabo-muslim world in general not specifically people who live in Saudi Arabia. That includes everyone from the Atlantic coast of North Africa to the end of Middle East. Of course everyone has their own culture within this huge area. I am personally Berber (Algeria) so I'm not an Arab at all since Algeria is in Africa and Arabia is in Asia. But Algerians speak Arab and are Muslim which are things they have in common with the rest of the arabo-muslim world. And all of these Mediterranean countries share a pretty common culinary history. If you go to Algeria you have baklava, tea and lokums, same if you go to Marocco or Turquey or Lebanon or Syria or Egypt, etc.. But it was so much simpler for the sake of comedy to just write "Arabs" in my comment. I assumed it was quite obvious to everyone that we are not all Arabs in the litteral meaning of the word
@@djwjdjjsjdiiwidjwi9631 I thought Moroccans were Arab? I have Morrocan friends who identify as Arab and speak and understand Arabic, even if their Arabic is very different
We followed this recipe and it went great. We just needed about 50 min on simmering (at low temp, not very low). Only later did I read about how hard is supposedly is to make Turkish Delight. But it was a breeze with these instructions!
i’ve always thought turkish delights had gelatin in them for some reason... thank goodness they don’t! now i can try these things whenever my grandma makes them
@@yeswoo4452 i mean tru Some animal products derived from bone matter can be useful.. Some of them improve and promotw the health of your skin, hair n nails
Based off the comments, I really need to watch the Chronicles of Narnia 😂😂just so I can get a full desire to taste them. Apparently some dude sold his family for these😂😂I'm sorry I really don't know
To be fair, in the book/movie the Turkish Delight was enchanted to be so addictive that anyone eating it would do anything to get more. And Edmund was just a kid after all, not knowing this. Narnia is like the most anti Turkish Delight PSA ever. Lol. I'm certain real Turkish Delight isn't that bad though.
My mum loved Turkish Delight... she died four years ago, but am going to make these as a tribute to her.... will also share them with her best friend..... me lol 😂
Karen, may your Mum RIP & i am sure she'd be smiling. Take care & take comfort in the knowing, that she sees you & that you'll meet again some day. :-) x
Karen, my husband who died recently, loved the rosewater-flavoured Turkish delight. We used to get it every Christmas, and now that I see this recipe I think I will make it in his memory like you make it for your Mum, as will Katia and GullWing. 💜
Thank you so much! I’ve just learned how to make gelatin gummies and want an alternative for friends and family who are vegan! Also, very comprehensive! Great video!
Whenever I desire for Turkish delight, my dad always comes home with a packet of Turkish delight. I always thought there is something macigal about this food.
Thank you for yet another great recipe! Love your presentations. New sub. My uncle married a Greek woman from Ankara, exists, and she introduced us to so many Middle Eastern foods. She is part of the reason I went to Greece for 4 yrs and then had my youngest in Turkey. Lovely warm people. To this day, the food I cook is heavily influenced from her and my time in that part of the world. My sons and now my grandchildren eat and love Turkish Delight. When one of my sons 25 bday came not only me but his best friend showed up bringing him boxes of loukoom/loukoomi. We both acted like we got him the better gift, then he opened them and we all laughed.
Before there was food colouring, my relatives used raspberry juice. Now that I know the secret they didn't share with me, I'm going to make it for myself. Thanks for sharing. :)
There's a company here in Washington state that makes something called aplets and cotlets. To me they're very similar to Turkish delight. They add nuts to some of their flavors. They've included now strawberry flavors Etc. Check them out online.
When I first time sawed the Narnia movie I heard from edmin about Turkish delight recipe and I told my mom to cook it . she made this recipe it was really very yummy .
I did it for the first time today and it's just like the name; a delight. I wanted to do it since the first time I saw it in the cartoons "let's go Luna". My 3 1/2 year old also agree that turkish delights are delicious. Thanks you.
before coronavirus, my grandma would travel a lot with her friends, and send back little gifts for me and my family. one of her favourite places to go to is turkey, and she always brings back a box of real, rose-flavour turkish delight. it's so good!
This is a famous food here in Philippines, now i know its a Turkish delicacy, when i was a kid i love to buy those pink and soft sweet in the market, those days..
This was my favorite when i was a kid, never knew the name or how we Filipinos called this sweet. Even now that im 42 im still looking for this sweets in the nearby sari-sari stores whenever i got the chances, unfortunately it's hard to find now.
This is my second time following this recipe. It works really well. I can't find tartar cream where I am so I added more lemon juice. No problem. Careful this is not a recipe where you can do other stuff around, especially at the end. The paste could turn to caramel really quick.
My parents used to always have Turkish delight around the house during holidays. Never knew what it was but loved it!! My favourite was when it would get a bit stale....then it wasn’t so sticky. The rose water flavour is Devine!
Locum is such a treat. I love it. I was brought some Turkish lokum and it was over in no time. My daughter asked whether I could prepare. I thought it is something difficult but now I may give it a try. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

💓💓💓
I mean, during WWII with the rations going on, and also with sugar being extremely expensive and highly rationed, especially when we consider the character who did it was a kid, I'd have to disagree lol
Have you ever tried one tho
...
Worth considering definitely
It depends... how is your family?
Yeah they are tbh
Rip to those who are asking what is 🌟NARNIA 🌟
this is so sad
🙂😍🙂
😁😂😂
😂😂
Which people
I just tried this and it's the best thing I've ever made.
One change - you said to cook on a low flame for 45 minutes to reduce the mixture, but on my induction, a setting of 5 (out of 9) wasn't enough. I had to cook for another 20 minutes at 7, occasionally pumping it to 8/9, for it to turn brown.
The clean-up was surprisingly effortless, especially if you keep on top of it during the cook. Have a sink full of soapy hot water before you start. :)
Thanks so much. Going to experiment with other flavours soon.
That’s really glad to hear your feedback….no need hot water also just soak pot with normal water for 1 hour and wash
If I had a dollar for every Narnia comment id be rich
You'd have enough to pay rent this month and maybe the next😂
There’s only 4K comments..... in what universe is that rich? Please let me know so I can go there and be King!
@@RollingxBigshot there is no other place. As king, i saw look elsewhere!
Not rich. There are only 4,000 comments and about a quarter or less are about Narnia. You'd have less than $1,000.
It’s a joke 🤦♀️
When I was a kid I thought this food does not exist😂 because..NARNIA yeh
Edit: AFTER A YEAR AM BACK IN THIS COMMENT SECTION WITH 1K LIKES HAHAHAH.. So yeah about this comment. Thank you for those who understood and explained it further. When I was younger, I thought it was a made up food, so clueless little me just assume it doesn't really exist coz it's fictional.
I'm also not too familiar about this food because It's not available here.
😍
Lol Narnia is the reason i know this food
You thought he grabbed the food like that because it was something he didn't know? That's not how most kids operate, lol.
Same here 😂😂😂
Well but Edmund choosed the food and he comes from London so why should he choose food he did not know? 🤣
And here comes narnia. And Edmund
Hi my brother/sister, I’m a Turkish and really glad to see that you watch a video about our traditional Turkish Delight🥰 you can eat them with Turkish coffee ☕️ thank you🤞🏽
Thanks to Edmund
As a native Turkish, to be honest you made me suprized because I wouldn't expect that you make that much similar to orijinal Turkish Delight which is called in Turkish "Lokum". Congratulations
Edmud betrayed his siblings for this "sweetened goo"
i would
🤣🤣🤣 "sweetened goo"
OMG its the first time I am getting this much attention😛....thank you so much guys for soo many likes☺
@@superspicyspinalfluid6190 yeah it looks delicious😅
I remember the first time I watched Narnia and saw Edmund eat the turkish delight. Looked so yummy 😋
I'm addicted to "magnificent century" serious and this sweets they introduced with coffee. I love Turkish foods. Love from Sri Lanka 💗
Same here 😅
Me too
Mee too ❤️❤️

Every year my daughter gives me a box for Christmas. My favourites are rose water and also pistachio, she’s done that for thirty years.
I live 1 1/2 hrs from Jungle Jim's and every now and then they sell Mastic Turkish Delight. That is my favorite. Every time I go to Jungle Jim's it is a loukum haul, even my boys bring me some when they go there, lol!
Fun fact : Aslan means lion in Turkish ( or so I think )
Turkish native speaker here
Yes, it means "lion" in Turkish
@@yakamozgumusservi1924 axaxaxaxaxa
Yup!
@@onalbetul1809 lol watching so much turkish dramas paid of :)
Aslan means originally/actually in Arabic
My final cooking never resulted with a medium amber color. I cooked it on low setting for 35 minutes (wear kitchen gloves. This stuff is thick and stiff...I got a blister on the side of my thumb after about 10 minutes) then cranked the flame up for the last ten minutes and it only turned a light amber color. (Could be the computer monitor settings.) Once I put it in a pan it was so thick I could barely spread it around. I sprinkled sesame seeds on top and pressed it down with my hands to get it to be uniform. I didn't have rose essence or any candy flavoring so I used orange extract. I also used distilled vinegar because I didn't have any lemon juice...hence the orange extract because you could taste the acidic from the vinegar . It turned out perfect. I will make it again for Christmas and actually buy the rose candy flavoring and maybe a couple other exotics and some nuts.
I opened the video because the color is deliciously pink. I’m not disappointed.
I tried this delicious TURKISH DELIGHT during this lock down And it was amazing.
Arabs watching: *think about Ramadan/Eid cooking*
Others watching: *think about Narnia*
why only Arabs? this is Turkish
@@djwjdjjsjdiiwidjwi9631 I meant Arab as people who live in the Arabo-muslim world in general not specifically people who live in Saudi Arabia. That includes everyone from the Atlantic coast of North Africa to the end of Middle East. Of course everyone has their own culture within this huge area. I am personally Berber (Algeria) so I'm not an Arab at all since Algeria is in Africa and Arabia is in Asia. But Algerians speak Arab and are Muslim which are things they have in common with the rest of the arabo-muslim world. And all of these Mediterranean countries share a pretty common culinary history. If you go to Algeria you have baklava, tea and lokums, same if you go to Marocco or Turquey or Lebanon or Syria or Egypt, etc.. But it was so much simpler for the sake of comedy to just write "Arabs" in my comment. I assumed it was quite obvious to everyone that we are not all Arabs in the litteral meaning of the word
@@djwjdjjsjdiiwidjwi9631 I thought Moroccans were Arab? I have Morrocan friends who identify as Arab and speak and understand Arabic, even if their Arabic is very different
Lol im muslim but i do think about narnia. Maybe because i live in places where this thing isnt common
You know not all arabs are muslims right?
*The chronicles of Narnia 🥰*
Same
We followed this recipe and it went great. We just needed about 50 min on simmering (at low temp, not very low). Only later did I read about how hard is supposedly is to make Turkish Delight. But it was a breeze with these instructions!
Glad to hear your feedback 😊
I was soooo surprised that this didn’t have gelatine
There are many gelatine options, they are not authentic and are nowhere near as good!
Doesn't have gelatine cause it's forbidden in our religion
Gelatine is not forbidden in islam
@@hastaadam6009 pig gelatine is forbidden
@@Melike.76 yes but not all gelatines are pig gelatines
I like really good Turkish Delight made with almonds or pistachio, and flavoured with aromatic rosewater.
Oh yes absolutely! Me too! :-) When i was in both Turkey & Australia, i did try the very best. Amazin actually.
That sounds somewhat closer to marzipan than this which looks like fairly loose taffy.
Miss T.E.A. Oh! Absolutely. The “real” stuff. ❤️❤️❤️
Yesss
Welcome to the "Zemo" fanclub🧐🧐
i’ve always thought turkish delights had gelatin in them for some reason... thank goodness they don’t! now i can try these things whenever my grandma makes them
@비니보이 That's a good description of most desserts.
Some less authentic recipes do use gelatin, because it firms up faster. So maybe ask your grandma to be sure.
@@joshhatfield1320 then you eat it. i'd rather not eat pork bones, thank you very much
@@yeswoo4452 i mean tru
Some animal products derived from bone matter can be useful..
Some of them improve and promotw the health of your skin, hair n nails
So u tellin me
U aint eatin ur granma's food?
(Not my place to say anything biased, mind)
Based off the comments, I really need to watch the Chronicles of Narnia 😂😂just so I can get a full desire to taste them. Apparently some dude sold his family for these😂😂I'm sorry I really don't know
Lol yeah 😂, watch Narnia though! It's pretty great!
To be fair, in the book/movie the Turkish Delight was enchanted to be so addictive that anyone eating it would do anything to get more. And Edmund was just a kid after all, not knowing this. Narnia is like the most anti Turkish Delight PSA ever. Lol.
I'm certain real Turkish Delight isn't that bad though.
I recommend reading the books rather than watching the movies as they go into more detail, but I hope you enjoy either way!
broaden your horizons and read this classic series. it's not only a movie. I cant believe you haven't either read or seen them.
If you want to get the point fast just watch The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. That's where the reference is from
My mum loved Turkish Delight... she died four years ago, but am going to make these as a tribute to her.... will also share them with her best friend..... me lol 😂
Karen, may your Mum RIP & i am sure she'd be smiling. Take care & take comfort in the knowing, that she sees you & that you'll meet again some day. :-) x
Karen Yeomans My mum did too. I was just thinking I’d make some in honor of her, when I saw your comment. ❤️
Karen, my husband who died recently, loved the rosewater-flavoured Turkish delight. We used to get it every Christmas, and now that I see this recipe I think I will make it in his memory like you make it for your Mum, as will Katia and GullWing. 💜
ZainaDancer that’s a lovely thing to do for him. Enjoy Zaina xx
Hope they turned out great and well enjoyed!
When i first saw it in narnia. I prayed everyday to be able to have some.
I am from Turkey and I am happy to see this videos
😊👍🏻
Clicked it so fast cause I wanted to know what Edmund sold his family over for
Hah LOL
Does it worth it?
Chronicles of Narnia, first thing that comes in my mind on hearing Turkish Delight.
Thank you so much! I’ve just learned how to make gelatin gummies and want an alternative for friends and family who are vegan! Also, very comprehensive! Great video!
I love seeing it getting tossed in powder sugar 🤗
zakiah tukes 😊👍🏻
I toss my boyfriend in powder sugar all the time.
DIY The North
That's your opinion
They taste as good as any chewy candy
I'm guessing you tasted the rose water one lol very perfumey
Whenever I desire for Turkish delight, my dad always comes home with a packet of Turkish delight. I always thought there is something macigal about this food.
That is God granting you your desires
Lucky🙄🔥
Same here
@@Avraham.Eisenberg 🥱
Makes me want to sell out my siblings to a lady I don't even know
Thank you for yet another great recipe! Love your presentations. New sub.
My uncle married a Greek woman from Ankara, exists, and she introduced us to so many Middle Eastern foods. She is part of the reason I went to Greece for 4 yrs and then had my youngest in Turkey. Lovely warm people.
To this day, the food I cook is heavily influenced from her and my time in that part of the world.
My sons and now my grandchildren eat and love Turkish Delight. When one of my sons 25 bday came not only me but his best friend showed up bringing him boxes of loukoom/loukoomi. We both acted like we got him the better gift, then he opened them and we all laughed.
Seriously when I was a child, they sell this in the Philippines. I didn't know it's a turkish snack.
Naabutan kuyan noon bata pako masarap yan hinanap hanap kuyan ngayun dikona makita
That's why I clicked this vid 😁 It looked so familiar haha
yes and it smells good too
meron pa sa palengke. nakakabili pako nyan
@@rc9147 ooh which market 😮
Before there was food colouring, my relatives used raspberry juice. Now that I know the secret they didn't share with me, I'm going to make it for myself. Thanks for sharing. :)
I think that would be healthier and likey tastier- thanks for the info- i'll use that.
Reminds me Narnia...with that beautiful bowl
I just tried one of these for the first time in my life and I absolutely love them. Thanks for the video, will try to make them.
All throughout my childhood, I have been very curious about this since I watched The Chronicles of Narnia
Yes this reminds me of Narnia, I’ve always wanted to try them they look so good
Help! 🙄
Oh my God same
Come to turkey
There's a company here in Washington state that makes something called aplets and cotlets. To me they're very similar to Turkish delight. They add nuts to some of their flavors. They've included now strawberry flavors Etc. Check them out online.
@@kcanded I love those!
When I first heard about it on Narnia ages ago, I thought Turkish Delight was a savory turkey dish. Gawd
This was the most relaxing, enjoyable video I've watched in a long time. Fantastic, easy to understand instructions!
I love Turkish delight. And I'm Chinese who lives in the Philippines. Too bad it's rare here but I might try this recipe. I'll just add nuts.
Do you know any places that serve authentic or atleast near authentic Turkish Delight? (except Turkey ofc)
It look easy to make than expected
ronch550 Parang tikoy lang din siya na binalot ng powder.
And chocolate on top!
@@kenllacer its actually called lokum not turkish delight
you know Turkish delight is my favourite candy
Mine to ( I'm from Greece)
all the dislikes are from diabetes associations
🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂
😂!
Oh god🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@samreen zulfiqar she should stop being diabetic... its bad for you
Diabete didn't originate from Ottoman sir.
When I first time sawed the Narnia movie I heard from edmin about Turkish delight recipe and I told my mom to cook it . she made this recipe it was really very yummy .
I did it for the first time today and it's just like the name; a delight. I wanted to do it since the first time I saw it in the cartoons "let's go Luna". My 3 1/2 year old also agree that turkish delights are delicious. Thanks you.
You can't beat the real Turkish Delight, has been my favourite since I was a small child. Thanks for sharing.
Every kid who watched Narnia wanted to eat this.. It looked so good..
before coronavirus, my grandma would travel a lot with her friends, and send back little gifts for me and my family. one of her favourite places to go to is turkey, and she always brings back a box of real, rose-flavour turkish delight. it's so good!
I use to wonder what does it taste like.. ever since I watched NARNIA... 😜😜
Tastes so good
Ritto Joseph me too. The lion the witch and the wardrobe series.
haha... I was wondering if anyone remember this from Narnia
@@rekhamishra9081 i do remember
Ritto Joseph Aahh God.. tastes deliciouss 🤤
This is a famous food here in Philippines, now i know its a Turkish delicacy, when i was a kid i love to buy those pink and soft sweet in the market, those days..
Looking for this comment 😊
Piso isang cubes❤️
Wala naman nyan dito samin. Sad.
This was my favorite when i was a kid, never knew the name or how we Filipinos called this sweet. Even now that im 42 im still looking for this sweets in the nearby sari-sari stores whenever i got the chances, unfortunately it's hard to find now.
True sobrang sarap neto, hirap na ngayon makabili nito
This is my second time following this recipe. It works really well. I can't find tartar cream where I am so I added more lemon juice. No problem. Careful this is not a recipe where you can do other stuff around, especially at the end. The paste could turn to caramel really quick.
Thanks for your feedback 😊
Believe it or not it isn't a common thing to find in every country
Franck Michaux yeah... I can’t find it in my country too... so when I need cream of tar tar I had to use the mixture of baking soda and baking powder
Before when I hear turkish delight I think of Edmund now I think of Zemo. "Turkish delight, irresistable"
21 years old turkish but I just learnt the ingredients of turkish delight 😂 thanks for the recipe.
My parents used to always have Turkish delight around the house during holidays. Never knew what it was but loved it!! My favourite was when it would get a bit stale....then it wasn’t so sticky. The rose water flavour is Devine!
why is this so satisfying to watch at 3 AM?
Amazing! Thank you so much! They taste so good that I just had to learn to make them! Thanks 🤩 Now to make them! 💖
I m Turkish and our delights are just perfect everyone should try🤩
How does it tastes?
Hi
Only reason I know of the name of this is because of Narnia. I've always wanted to try this.
Alicia McDonald come to turkey ❤️
Locum is such a treat. I love it. I was brought some Turkish lokum and it was over in no time. My daughter asked whether I could prepare. I thought it is something difficult but now I may give it a try. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Wow, thank you for this recipe! Your turkish delights looked absolutely amazing!
