Notes
Dietary Kookoo Kadoo Sabz
If you want to make this dish with fewer calories, increase the dry dill to 2 spoons and fry the Kookoos with olive oil instead of vegetable oil. You can even put the Kookoos in an oven tray and cook them without oil.
To cook the Kookoos in the oven, spread oil paper on the oven tray, then arrange the Kookoos and cook at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. After this time, return the Kookoos and cook for another 10 minutes.
