Method
Finely chop the parsley, dill, coriander and spring onions.
Roughly chop the walnuts.
Rinse the barberries.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, ground turmeric, salt and black pepper until smooth.
Stir the chopped herbs, spring onions, walnuts, crumbled dried fenugreek leaves and half the barberries into the egg mixture until evenly combined.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat, then pour in the herb and egg mixture, spreading it evenly.
Cover and cook over low heat until the edges are set and the underside is golden, about 12 minutes.
Carefully invert the kuku onto a plate, then slide it back into the pan to cook the second side until golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
Slide the kuku onto a board, scatter with the remaining barberries and cut into wedges to serve.
