Meatless Dishes / How to Make Incredibly Delicious Gilani Kuku

Kuku Virmuni is a delicious type of kuku made by combining cooked potatoes with kuku herbs, eggs, rice, and spices. It is very tasty and nutritious. If you'd like to make this delicious kuku at home with an easy method, follow along with this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 cooked potato

• 1/2 cup cooked rice

• 100 grams of special kuku herbs

• 3 eggs

• Salt, black pepper, and turmeric (to taste)

• Oil for frying (as needed)

Preparation Method:

To make this delicious local kuku, first grate the onion and squeeze out the excess juice. Now, grate the cooled cooked potato and add it along with the cooked rice, kuku herbs, and eggs to the onion. Then, sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and turmeric over the ingredients. Stir the mixture well until everything is evenly combined.

Next, pour some oil into a deep, suitable frying pan and heat it on the stove until the oil is hot. Pour the kuku mixture into the oil in the shape of a patty and reduce the heat to medium so the kuku can fry slowly. Once one side is golden, flip the kuku to fry the other side as well.
