Notes

For a low fat version of kookoo sabzi, cook the kookoo in a shallow baking dish in the oven.
You can use any dried herbs you have available, but this combination is a more traditional version. I use the prepackaged Kookoo Sabzi dried herb, and always keep a packet of this in my box of dried herbs.
