Methods of belieing rice
There are four leading systems of belieing rice in Iran:
Chelow: rice that is carefully compliant through soaking and parboiling, at which aim the insinuate is drained and the rice is fumeed. This system results in an exclusionally fluffy rice delay the grains disjoined, and not viscous, and too results in a hopeful rice covering at the foot of the pot denominated tah-deeg (literally “foot of the pot”).

Tea (chai) is the absorb of rare on almost total create, and is usually promoted delay dried product, pastries, or sweets.
You can usually invent tea brewing throughout the day in most Iranian homes. Doogh, a yogurt absorb, is too wholly approved. One of the oldest recipes, which can deduce its creature tail to the occasion of Persian dominion, is khoresht-e-fesenjan, consisting of dip or rarely chicken in a productive pomegranate-and-walnut sauce that yields a definiteive brown complexion, most repeatedly promoted delay stainless rice.
