Instruction:

To prepare sour and delicious joojeh torsh, follow the steps below. Of course, we suggest that after preparing this dish, you should also study how to prepare morgh torsh, a popular dish of Gilani. This northern food also has a wonderful flavor.

1. First, wash and dry the chicken fillet. Place the chicken on the kitchen board and cut it into squares or rectangles (similar to jooje kabab pieces).

2. It’s time to add ingredients to season the fillets. Cut the onions into large slices and pour them over the fillets along with brewed saffron, high-fat yogurt, and diluted pomegranate paste.

Then add salt, pepper, and finally ground walnuts to the chicken.

3. Now add the special vegetables that we said above to the chicken and mix it.

4. In this step, stir the contents of the bowl with your hands so that all the fillets are coated with the ingredients. Then cover the bowl with cellophane and put it in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

5. After this time, remove the bowl from the refrigerator and skewer the chicken. If you plan to make this food in a pan you should use wooden skewers.

To prepare this food in a pan, pour a small amount of oil in it and arrange the wooden skewers. Then reduce the heat and let them fry slowly.

If you want to prepare this kabab on the grill, you can use a metal skewer. While grilling, rotate the skewers so that all parts of them are cooked.

Joojeh torsh is served as a meal or with rice. In addition, you can use seasonings such as Seer torshi , Mast o musir, Mast o khiar, Sabzi Kordan, and Zeytoon parvardeh.

Notes :

  • Do not leave the lid of the frying pan from the beginning to make the joojeh torsh crispy. Let both sides of the chickens be fried well and then close the lid of the pan so that the chickens are well cooked and crispy.
  • To make this chicken kabab crispy and juicy you can add two to three spoons of yogurt to the ingredients.
  • Sour pomegranate paste is more suitable for making Sour Chicken Gilani and makes this food crispy.
  • You can add a few pieces of kiwi to the ingredients to make this food crispy.
  • Add the salt to the chicken during cooking, and when the chicken meat has cooked a little and has set itself so that the chicken meat does not get tough.
  • You can add a spoonful of thick brewed saffron to these food ingredients to make it more delicious. Of course, the original food does not have saffron.
  • If you think the taste of pomegranate paste is too sour for you, you can add sour pomegranate paste to taste the chicken.
  • The combination of parsley, coriander, savory, and tarragon in the amount of 3 to 4 tablespoons plus 2 cloves of grated garlic also gives a good taste to the northern joojeh torsh.
  • Keep the distance between the chicken pieces on the skewer to cook the meat well. A finger knuckle is enough space between the chicken pieces on the skewer.
  • Preparing this sour chicken without vegetables is also possible; you can even change the combination of vegetables in this food to your taste so that this dish suits your taste.
  • Some people are interested in preparing sour chicken without walnuts, and for this reason, they remove walnuts from the ingredients.
 

KABĀB (kebab, kabob, cabob), a popular dish which traditionally consists of meat cut in cubes, or ground and shaped into balls; these are threaded onto a skewer and broiled over a brazier of charcoal embers. After the kabāb is cooked, it is placed on a platter or tray and pulled off the skewer with a piece of flat bread. Because of the smoke produced from the drops of fat that fall on the charcoal, kabāb is usually made in the open air, normally in the courtyard of the house. As a general term, it applies to all kinds of food broiled directly over charcoal, wood, or recently gas, with or without the use of a skewer.
