- โEnsure walnuts are ground very finely for a smooth sauce. A food processor or spice grinder works well.
- โDo not boil the sauce vigorously, as it can cause the walnuts to separate.
- โAdjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more chicken broth if it becomes too thick.
- โThis dish is excellent served with Georgian bread or rice.

- Use turkey or firm tofu instead of chicken for a different protein.
- Add a pinch of ground cloves for a warmer spice profile.
- For a richer sauce, a tablespoon of heavy cream can be added at the end.
