Sabzi khordan (Persian: سبزی خوردن), kanachi,(Armenian: կանաչի), goy (Azerbaijani: Yemax goyü) or pinjar (Kurdish: pinçar) is a common side dish in Iranian, Kurdish, Azerbaijani, Afghan, and Armenian cuisines, which may be served with any meal, consisting of any combination of a set of fresh herbs and raw vegetables. Basil, parsley, and radishes are among the most common ones.
