Rinse the parsley, cilantro, dill and green onions, pat them thoroughly dry, and finely chop with a knife.

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet for 3–4 minutes, let cool, then chop into small pieces.

3

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with salt, black pepper, turmeric and baking powder until smooth.

4

Heat 15 ml of vegetable oil in a skillet, add all the chopped greens and cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring, until the excess moisture evaporates; remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Combine the cooled greens, walnuts and egg mixture.

Carefully flip the kuku sabzi using a large plate and slide it back into the skillet; cook uncovered for another 4–5 minutes, until the eggs are fully set.
