Aab Doogh Khiar is a refreshing herb & fruit yogurt-based cold soup that is best served during the warm months of the year. The cold savoury drink, Doogh, gives the perfect cooling effect for this soup which is the reason why it’s the base for this dish. Aab Doogh Khiar is packed with fresh herbs, cucumber, raisin and a variety of ingredients makes this soup mouthwatering. According to food history, this dish became official over 150 years ago when Naser Al-Din Shah Ghajar suggested to his chef to make something different than the usual feast meals, perhaps something common citizens ate. Little did the Shah know the chef and himself created a soup that then became a loved dish by the Shahs and the People all around IRAN.
