To elevate Tachin Joojeh to its full glory, it is often adorned with a vibrant array of toppings. Barberries, with their tart and tangy flavor, add a delightful pop of color and a burst of acidity that cuts through the richness of the chicken and rice.

Aromatic herbs, such as dill and parsley, add a refreshing touch and enhance the overall complexity of flavors.
