Method
- Wash the rice with love, without rubbing it.
- Add a lot of salt to the rice, because without salt it is useless.
- Let the rice soak for two hours.
- After soaking, drain the water.
- Pour water into another pot and bring it to a boil.
- Boil the rice until it is soft but its core remains firm.
- Drain the rice and rinse it with cold water.
- Pour oil and make tahdig with whatever you like; I made it with saffron.
- Do not forget the magic hole (make a hole in the rice).
- Let it steam for 45 minutes.
- Cook for two or three minutes on high heat, then on low heat.
- Abkesh rice with animal fat is something else, so heat it up.
