Method
Restated from the original video
- 1
Wash the parsley, cilantro and dill, then dry them very well with a towel and chop finely. Wet herbs make a soggy kuku.
- 2
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the turmeric, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper until smooth.
- 3
Fold in the parsley, cilantro, dill and scallions until the mixture looks like a thick green batter held together by egg.
- 4
Fold in the walnuts and barberries.
- 5
Heat 3 tbsp of the oil in a 24 cm (10 in) non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat.
- 6
Pour in the mixture and press it flat with a spatula. Cover with a lid.
- 7
Cook for 10-12 min, until the underside is golden and the top is nearly set.
- 8
Cut the kuku into 4 wedges while it is still in the pan.
- 9
Flip each wedge, add the remaining oil around the edges and cook uncovered for 4-5 min, until golden and cooked through.
- 10
Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.
