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. Soak the dried legumes in advance and drain before cooking.

  2. Cook the soaked legumes and grains until partly tender.

  3. Combine with water or stock in a large pot.

  4. Add herbs, noodles, meat, or the dish-specific ingredients at the appropriate stage.

  5. Simmer gently, stirring regularly, until thick and fully cooked.

  6. Adjust seasoning and serve with fried onions, mint oil, kashk, or the traditional garnish.

Cook's notes

Stir frequently as the mixture thickens to prevent scorching. Add quick-cooking ingredients such as noodles, kashk, or tender herbs at the appropriate late stage.

Background

This item is associated with Kerman's food traditions and southeastern Iran's dry climate, where cumin, dates, nuts, kashk, and shelf-stable ingredients recur in regional cooking.
