Joojeh Kebabs Persian with Kara coconut cream
Joojeh Kebabs are among the most popular and beloved dishes in Persian cuisine — featuring succulent, marinated chunks of chicken grilled to perfection. Often regarded as a comfort food, they’re commonly enjoyed at family gatherings, picnics, weddings, and restaurants alike.

Traditionally, Joojeh Kebabs are marinated in a mixture that includes Greek or plain yogurt to help tenderize the meat. In this dairy-free version, Kara UHT Coconut Cream is used in place of yogurt, combined with fresh lemon juice to achieve a similar creamy texture and tenderizing effect, while adding a subtle coconut aroma that complements the smoky grilled chicken beautifully.
IDon’t let the leftover marinade go to waste — transform it into a Smoky Onion Dip!
Simply cook it over low to medium heat until thickened (about 8 minutes), then add a touch of sugar and ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika. Stir well, and you’ll have a rich, flavorful dip perfect to serve alongside the kebabs, grilled vegetables, or even as a unique dip for fries.
Enjoy~
