The stew should be slightly sour, so add a little dried Omani lemon or fresh lemon juice, which gives the stew a slightly bitter taste. It takes a long time for the vegetable crumbs to settle.

Daisy or broth is one of the oldest, most delicious and nutritious authentic Iranian dishes. As the name implies, this food is watery and the meat is one of its main ingredients.

The only difference is how the food is cooked. It is customary to call it "broth" if it is cooked at home and to call it "daisy" if it is prepared outside and inside the oven.
