Saj ichi

Saj ichi is the name of a traditional Azerbaijani frying pan with a smooth deepening in the centre. It is used for fast frying of meat and vegetables on a fire. And the composition of the dish can be very diverse. It is invariably recommended to add pomegranate seeds, which create the desired flavour. In the absence of special dishes, you should take a thick-walled cast-iron frying pan and cook on the highest heat of the stove.
