Gondi (גונדי) is eaten by most Iranian Jewish families during their Shabbat dinners. Prepared as dumplings that are cooked and served in chicken soup, Gondi is the traditional side dish or appetizer Iranian Jews enjoy. It is eaten along with a Middle Eastern bread as well as raw green vegetables including mint, watercress, and basil. Gondi is typically served in a hot bowl of chicken soup with some families also adding in potatoes and a turkey leg. Many confuse gondi for matzah balls because of a similar appearance
