Kuku is an Azerbaijani herb-and-egg dish something like a dense frittata, but herb-dominant. The classic "goy kuku" is made with dill, cilantro, parsley, and green onion, with egg acting only as a binder. It's a Novruz-table staple, usually served with yogurt, and a great vegetarian choice. A good kuku comes down to an abundance of herbs and cooking it low and slow. Price: 6 to 12 AZN. Below are the best spots in Baku for kuku and traditional Azerbaijani food.
