In some regions, yoghurt is not poured over the Kayseri Yaglama. The phyllo with minced meat is rolled and dipped in yoghurt and consumed. You may not like to eat by hand, but be sure, it is much more fun to consume this way…
As for the calorie calculation, I can say that a plate of Kayseri Yaglama is 450 calories on average…
