Pick over and rinse the 1/2 water glass of rice, then place it in a pot. Add 3 water glasses of water and boil over medium heat until the rice is tender.
In a bowl, combine 1.5 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of yogurt and mix well. Add approximately 5–6 tablespoons of the hot cooking liquid from the rice and stir, then transfer this yogurt mixture into the pot. Begin cooking over medium heat, stirring continuously. Once it comes to a boil, reduce to low heat, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring to one more boil. (If the soup becomes too thick, you can thin it out by adding some water.)
In a pan, melt 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil together with 1 tablespoon of butter. Add 1 dessert spoon of dried mint and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Pour the prepared sauce into the soup and stir to combine.

About This Recipe

Yogurt, an invention of our ancestors, began crossing beyond Turkey's borders in the early 20th century. For example, Americans only became acquainted with yogurt just 45–50 years ago. No joke — we're serious… Marco Polo noted that yogurt was consumed in China. It is well known that the spread of yogurt across Asia and Africa happened through the Turks.

Experts agree that adults should consume one bowl of yogurt per day, and children should absolutely, without fail, consume six tablespoons of yogurt daily. As you know, probiotics are among the most important nutrients for gut health. These gut-friendly microorganisms regulate bowel movements by preserving the structure of the villi in the intestinal wall, which are responsible for nutrient absorption. Thanks to them, complaints such as constipation, diarrhea, and indigestion come to an end. The calcium it contains is effective in reducing fat accumulation, especially in the abdominal area. It has been proven that regular yogurt consumption reduces the risk of high blood pressure and helps keep elevated blood pressure at normal levels. It strengthens the immune system and fights against diseases and infections. The protein in yogurt plays an important role in repairing muscle damage, especially after exercise. It is possible to curb your sweet cravings by consuming a bowl of yogurt. Thanks to the beneficial bacteria in yogurt, pimples and redness on the skin disappear. And again, thanks to probiotics, vaginal yeast infections, which women frequently encounter, also come to an end.
