Give me all the carbs! White rice is one of my weaknesses. How can one resist the delicious tahdig, the crispy, mouthwatering, tasty, crunchy part of the rice! Tahdig literally translates to the bottom of the pot. There are several variations of tahdig. I always make mine with a burrito size tortilla. You’ll find some families will make rice tahdig or use potatoes. All are delicious!

A few weeks ago, I put a poll up on Instagram stories asking if I should do a video on how to cook Persian rice. The response was overwhelming!! So, here we are. 😁 Rice is such a staple in Persian cuisine. We eat all our stews with white rice. Today I serve my rice with Khoresht e Bademjoon, an eggplant stew. We also have several recipes where we mix other ingredients into our rice and make dishes like addas polo, a lentil rice dish. Check out the video below to see how you can get the perfect fluffy long grain rice. Your life is about to be changed!
