Cooked cotyledons that should be soaked the day before (as needed).

Recipe for Persian sour chicken stew
Add chicken
First, heat the pans a little (low flame), then put the chicken with a little chicken broth inside.
Add vegetables
Next we have to add the vegetables to the chicken in the pan. If we see that this amount of vegetables is too much for chicken broth, we should add a little chicken broth to it again.
Note that spinach is not available in some seasons, so you can use beets instead, but because of the sweet taste of beets, it is necessary to use it in smaller quantities, but spinach does not need such a precaution, because the more spinach in this food, the more glaze it gives.
Add cotyledons
The next step is to add as many cobs as you like.
If you have enough time to cook this food, you do not need to cook the ingredients separately and then mix them together. You can add cobs to the chicken in boiling water to cook together, but keep in mind that in order for the cotyledons to cook faster, they need to be soaked in water overnight.
Add verjuice
The next step is to add verjuice to Gilani sour chicken stew. If you do not have verjuice, you can also use lemon juice or orange juice, but the taste that verjuice gives to this food is better than lemon juice and orange juice.
Add tomato paste
Then you have to add a small amount of tomato paste to change the color of the stew a little. Then you have to reduce the flame so that the excess water of the stew disappears and the stew settles.
Add the eggs
In the last step, when the taste of vegetables and other ingredients is mixed with a low flame, you can add the eggs. To do this, you need to break 3 eggs and mix well.
Add spices
Then add salt, pepper and turmeric to the egg and after mixing well, pour over the stew. You should not stir the stew too much after pouring the egg because the texture of the egg separates and gives your food an improper appearance.
Serve
Once you have the oil on the sour chicken stew, you can prepare it for serving. Northern sour chicken stew is usually prepared with rice, along with local vegetables and local horseradish.
