Ingredients
- Vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Eggs
- 6 large
- Fresh fenugreek leaves
- 1 cup, chopped
- Fresh chives
- 1/2 cup, chopped
- Fresh dill
- 1/2 cup, chopped
- Fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup, chopped
- Fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup, chopped
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, dill, chives, and fenugreek leaves. Ensure that the herbs are finely chopped for even distribution.
- In the same bowl, add the eggs, baking powder, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined and fluffy.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the mixture to ensure a crispy bottom.
- Pour the herb and egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the edges are set.
- To flip the kookoo sabzi, place a large plate or lid over the skillet. Carefully invert the skillet to transfer the kookoo onto the plate, then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side.
- Cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and the eggs are fully cooked through.
- Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of saffron to the egg mixture.
- Kookoo Sabzi can be served with a side of yogurt or a light salad for a refreshing contrast.
