The story behind the dish

Waziri pairs minced lamb with saffron chicken, a lighter combination than soltani and a favourite for mixed tables.

Cooking mode

  1. 1Knead the mince with squeezed onion and salt; rest 1 hour.
  2. 2Marinate chicken in onion, lemon, saffron and salt for 4 hours.
  3. 3Shape koobideh onto skewers; thread the chicken.
  4. 4Grill chicken over medium heat and koobideh over hotter coals.
  5. 5Serve together on saffron rice.

Tips & troubleshooting

  • ✦Start the chicken first — it takes longer than koobideh.
