With the difference that you replace the chicken cooking process with meat. Finally, you can eat this tasty stew with sabzi khordan, mast o khiar, and drinks.
Plums contain vital vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin K, and a bit of potassium. Prunes (aka dried plums) will get you a little extra vitamin K boost, but with more calories, sugar, and carbs.
These vitamins and minerals can support your immune, digestive, and reproductive systems, as well as your eyesight, heart, lungs, and kidneys.
