Cook's notes

Roll the dough very thin and use a fully heated saj. Brush butter or clarified fat onto the hot bread after cooking so the aroma stays fresh.

Background

Kalaneh is a signature Kurdish food, especially associated with the season when wild greens emerge. Saj cooking and seasonal herbs connect it closely with rural and mountain life in Kurdistan.
