Slice a courgette, add yogurt and count courgettes for a dish.
The idea
Kabak can mean courgette or squash; the kitchen examples here use courgette. Before a vowel, final k becomes ğ: kabağı, kabağa.
Examples
- Kabağı ince dilimlere kesiyorum.I cut the courgette into thin slices.
- Kabağa biraz yoğurt ekliyorum.I add a little yogurt to the courgette.
- İki kabak yemek için yeterli.Two courgettes are enough for the dish.
- Kabakları tavada pişirdim.I cooked the courgettes in a pan.
- Bu çorbada kabak var.There is courgette in this soup.
- Pazardan taze kabak aldık.We bought fresh courgettes at the market.
