-   3 stalks leek
-   2 carrots, grated
-   2 eggs
-   1 çay bardağı (about 100 ml) olive oil
-   3–4 tablespoons yogurt
-   1 packet (10 g) baking powder
-   1 çay bardağı (about 65 g) buckwheat flour
-   ½ çay bardağı psyllium husk
-   2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
-   1 dessert spoon pepper paste + 1 tablespoon tomato paste
-   Black pepper, turmeric, cumin, dried mint

1.  Finely slice the leeks and rub them with salt.
2.  Add all the remaining ingredients and gently work into a uniform mixture, by spoon or by hand.
3.  Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 20 minutes — the outside cooks while the centre stays soft.
