Chicken, walnuts, garlic, cilantro, fenugreek, marigold, red pepper, onion, cooking oil, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar (for tartness, or unlisted tkemali).
Optional tweaks
Confirm no flour or rice used as thickener; walnuts should be the primary thickening agent.
Watch out for
Onions, trace starch/sugar in commercial broth or spice blends.
