Description
Turkish chilli preparations — pul biber (red pepper flakes, made from Urfa or Aleppo-type pepper), isot biber (Urfa pepper — dark, oily, fruity, with a distinctive fermented note), and tatlı biber (sweet red pepper paste) — represent a completely different flavour vocabulary from the chilli traditions of Southeast Asia or India. Pul biber's specific character (a moderate heat with a fruity, slightly oily depth) comes from the Marash or Urfa varieties of Capsicum annuum grown in southeastern Turkey.
