Ingredients

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)

Method

  1. Rinse the rice and soak it in lightly salted water for about 30 minutes.

  2. Clean, chop, or otherwise prepare rice, meat, yogurt, saffron as required.

  3. Lightly sauté onion, garlic, or spices if they are part of the recipe.

  4. Add the main ingredients and cook using the listed method: steam / dam.

  5. Adjust moisture and seasoning during cooking until the ingredients are tender and the flavors are balanced.

  6. Rest briefly and serve with the traditional accompaniments.

Cook's notes

Avoid overcooking the rice and handle it gently so the grains do not break. A short rest after steaming helps redistribute moisture and improves the final texture.

Background

This item is associated with Semnan and the southern Alborz, where grains, orchard produce, cumin, and foods adapted to a semi-arid climate are common.
