This Persian dish is close to my heart

This is Kotlet….

A Persian dish so close to my heart that reminds me of both of my grandmas. They’re no longer with us, but they both would make these for me as a child and it’s a dish so nostalgic to me 🙌

Here I’ve made my own vegetarian twist on it that I can’t wait to share 💚

This video is for my grandmas and the people of Iran 💔🤍💚

My grandmother is Polish and this was how she made potato pancakes (without the chickpeas). Grated potatoes and onions, mixed together and breaded and fried. Eat it with a baguette and tomatoes and sour cream, or on it’s own dipped in sour cream. I love how so many cultures share similar dishes, but with their own twists. It really goes to show how prehistoric peoples from those cultures may have interacted with eachother leading to such similar dishes. A lot of Central Asia and Eastern Europe got big pieces of their culture from India and Iran, apparently.

Never seen Iranian kotlet made with chickpeas. Usually there is ground meat. But I guess if you’re vegan/veggie that would be a good substitute!

Me as a persian never tried kotlet with chickpeas
but recently my mom cooked some with lentils and it was AMAZING 😋
This gonna be delicious too i guess 👌

I am a Persian 76 years old and don’t remember this recipe at all ! We make potatoes and ground beef onion eggs that we call kotlet ! We do the same with chick peas and ground beef eggs, even raw potato and onion and and ground beef ( Turkish kotlet ) but your’s with out beef ! Chick peas and potatoes 😮 of course I was born in Tehran and left 52 years ago and have no idea what the other part of Iran eat 🤷🏼‍♀️I can’t eat any of this kotlet because of diabetic and they have lots carbs ! But boy they are delicious 😊

Shami Kotlet! It’s so good 😌
Also thank you for teaching Kotlet 😁

Yum!! It’s like Indian Aloo tikki but that is a simpler version. Just boil potatoes, mash with wet bread or mix in flour, add herbs and spices, shape into cutlets & shallow fry. Can ve stuffed with paneer crumble or lentils also. Serve with tamarind chutney, coriander and mint chutney & yoghurt. Can be served with chickpea curry also (called tikki chholay)

Well, in Russia and Belarusia, we have the very close to this dish. We call it draniki (драники)

As always … the Persian spices will
be the STARS of this dish.
I looked up the chef … I hope that he
gets released … brave people.
