Preparation of Buckwheat (Kasha)

Begin with rinsing the buckwheat thoroughly. In a pot, combine buckwheat with water in a 1:2 ratio. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until all the water is absorbed and the buckwheat is tender, usually about 15-20 minutes.

Chicken Cooking

Marinate the chicken (thigh or leg piece) with your choice of spices. In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and cook the chicken until it's thoroughly cooked through, achieving a golden-brown exterior, for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.

Preparing the Flatbread

Warm the flatbread (naan or pita) in a skillet over low heat or in the oven wrapped in foil until it's soft and warm. Avoid overcooking to keep it soft.

Slicing the Radish and Cucumber

Wash and thinly slice both the radish and cucumber. These will be used fresh to add a crunchy and refreshing texture to the meal.
