Chigirtma (Azerbaijani: çığırtma) is an egg dish of Azerbaijani cuisine. The name chigirtma (çığırtma) means that it includes eggs.[1] Chigirtma literally means in Azerbaijani “screaming”. It is believed that the dish is called so because of the sounds the meat (or vegetable) makes while cooking in hot oil.[2] Chigirtma is made from chicken, eggplants, green beans, spinach and mutton.[1]
