A Persian recipe blog
Norouz is fast approaching and this means it’s nearly time for one of my favourite dishes: Sabzi Polo Maahi! It is a classic Persian dish which translates to “herb rice with fish”. Iranians around the world traditionally prepare this delicious fish dish on Shab-e Norouz, […]
Nokhod Polo is probably my favourite variation of Persian rice. It is saffron infused basmati rice with dried dill and peas – Such a good combo! You can combine it with almost any Persian dish you fancy! If lamb isn’t really your thing you can […]
Tahchin is such a versatile Persian classic! It’s a savoury rice cake that can be prepared with chicken, meat, veggies or plain as a side dish. It has fragrant saffron rice and juicy meat in the centre, a crispy golden rice crust on the outside, […]

Kabab Torsh is a tasty kabab dish from the north of Iran. The flavour combination of pomegranate, herbs and walnuts make this dish so rich and delicious!
Borani is a creamy Persian spinach yogurt dip – A must have appetiser for any party! It’s such an easy quick recipe for a delicious dip for bread, crackers or crisps (I’m talking about chips, American friends). I don’t just prepare borani for parties though, I also make small batches just for the two of us for movie night.

Khoresht-e Fesenjoon is a popular Persian dish – A rich walnut pomegranate stew! How it is prepared varies from region to region, actually every family prepares it a little differently I’m sure!
Shole Zard is a delicious Persian saffron rice pudding. Its bright yellow colour is so inviting and the flavour combo of saffron, cinnamon, cardamom and rosewater is divine! It’s a delicious alternative to milk rice pudding and if you substitute the knob of butter it’s dairy free!
There is nothing that can fill your heart, soul, and tummy on a bleak Winter’s day like Aash-e Reshteh. Aash is a genius Persian invention: A rich and thick soup, that’s very filling and comforting.
