Sabzi khordan (Persian: سبزی خوردن), kanachi (Armenian: կանաչի), goy (Azerbaijani: Yemax goyü), or pinjar (Kurdish: pinçar) is a common side dish in Iranian, Kurdish, Azerbaijani, Afghan, and Armenian cuisines, which may be served with any meal, consisting of any combination of a set of fresh herbs and raw vegetables. Basil, parsley, and radishes are among the most common ones.
Most commonly it is served alongside the actual meal. It is sometimes served with white cheese and naan bread (lavash, sangak, barbari) and also walnuts, to prepare a loqmeh (Persian: لقمه; meaning "roll up bite") which is colloquially called Naan panir sabzi (نان پنیر سبزی).[1]
