Kuku sabzi is a fragrant, emerald-green herb frittata packed with parsley, cilantro, scallions, and fenugreek. Studded with tart barberries and crunchy walnuts, it is light yet richly flavored, with a tender interior and gently golden crust.

Reshteh Polo is a fragrant, comforting rice dish in which long basmati grains are steamed with tender noodles, sweet caramelised onion, and earthy herbs. This version is light yet deeply savoury, with spinach and fenugreek adding a gentle green depth and a little yogurt on the side for cool contrast.
