Use a mix of different herbs: leek, parsley, cilantro, dill, and scallion (or fresh garlic).

Add the herbs along with the eggs, spices, flour, and a little bit of oil to a stand mixer.

Mix well until the mixture is thick and smooth using an electric mixer.

Chop some walnuts and combine them with barberries to use as the filling.

Preheat your pan for about 5 minutes and add a bit of oil.

Pour half of the kuku mixture into the hot pan.

Spread the walnut and barberry filling on top of the kuku mixture.

Add the rest of the kuku mixture over the filling.

Cover the pan with a lid to help it cook more evenly.

Cook the first side for about 5 to 7 minutes.

Flip the kuku and cook the other side for another 5 to 7 minutes, adding some extra oil if needed.

To make the yogurt sauce, blend yogurt with herbs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.

Set the yogurt sauce aside to serve with the kuku.

Serve the kuku with tomatoes, pickles, bread, and the yogurt herb sauce.
