Product Information

Store: Store cooled Persian Rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on stovetop or in microwave, adding a little broth or butter if dried out.

Bloom the saffron: Grind the saffron threads in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, then put ¼ teaspoon ground saffron into a medium-sized bowl. (You will add some rice to this bowl later.) Add 3 tablespoons of water and set it aside. The saffron will infuse the water and “bloom.” Potato or Flatbread can be used for the Tahdig. You can use flatbread such as lavash, Lebanese bread or Pita bread. If using the potato, peel it and slice thinly.Persian Rice with Crispy Tahdig is undoubtedly the most delicious and popular dish in Persian cuisine. Think of fluffy rice which is then flipped upside down to reveal a crispy golden crust at the top which we call Tahdig! Soak the saffron. 1 teaspoon of saffron goes in 1 cup of super warm water (but not hot). Leave it be for at least 10 minutes. It's important to give the saffron enough time in the water to bloom and release it's beautiful color, so that's why I start with this step. The fresh green herbs resemble spring, life and rebirth. Its usually served with fried white fish with the full name being Sabzi Polo ba Mahi (this means, herb rice with fish). Ingredients to make Sabzi Polo (Persian Herb Rice) Pars cooker has dimensions 10.4 x 10.4 x 8.6 inches. That means It is really small and light. It won’t take you much space in the kitchen. You can basically put it anywhere and it won’t take much space. This rice cooker is a very practical product because It saves you storage space. For this recipe I am using two cups of rice which is small amount made for The Sous Chef and I to consume during two meals. Since the ratio of water to rice is one to one you can increase the amount to your need. However, I would not go below two cups when making rice in a rice cooker.

This is what I do: I keep an eye on the rice until the water has been absorbed, which takes about 10 minutes for this amount of rice. Did you know you can make Tahdig with Potatoes??? Yep Crispy Potatoes!! It’s one of my absolute favourite Tahdig variations and it’s so easy to make! To reheat: I anticipate you will not have any tahdig left, but if you do it can be rejuvenated by crisping it up in a hot oven or an airfryer! Splash a little water over the rice and cook on low heat on the stove. You can also reheat in the microwave using the appropriate microwave dish.

A normal rice cooker won’t do it since it will only steam the rice without Tahdig at the bottom.
