Ingredients

The source records these as one list, but some entries are probably alternatives rather than all required — a choice of meat, for example. Read the list as options until it has been reviewed, and treat the quantities and nutrition as covering one version only.

Quantities below make about 4 servings (Estimated)

Quantities and nutrition on this page are estimates unless the source gives measured values.

Plan ahead. Soak rice before cooking (traditional method)

How this kind of dish is made

The source documents this dish but not a method specific to it. The steps below describe how dishes of this kind are generally made.

  1. Rinse and, when appropriate, soak the rice.

  2. Prepare the accompanying ingredients separately.

  3. Parboil or cook the rice by the kateh method.

  4. Layer or combine the rice and other ingredients.

  5. Steam gently and serve.

Cook's notes

Avoid overcooking the rice or breaking the grains; a short rest after steaming improves texture and moisture distribution.

Background

This item is associated with Bakhtiari culture and Zagros mountain life, where pastoralism, grains, dairy, mountain herbs, and local breads are important.
