Made Baghali Polo ba Mahiche this evening which was something I haven't had since I was a kid and I made it largely from memory.
Had some Iranian friends who used to cook it for us. It wasn't a million miles off but it definitely wasn't as good as theirs. They used to do something to the rice that gave it a crisp shell so they could turn it out of the pot like a cake and cut it into slices - mine was just a pile of rice and dill. Used to spend hours on Saturday mornings shelling broad beans and grilling lamb.
