Chicken pkhali
[edit ]Katmis mkhali is a variation on the traditional pkhali. Boiled chicken is shredded and combined with seasoned nuts along with chicken broth in order to bind. Chopped herbs are then added and the salad is chilled for 3-5 hours. The texture of the salad is similar to paste. Pkhali is generally served with lettuce and pomegranate seeds.[6] [9]
