The way you know a Persian family really loves you is when they will give you the first cut of tahdig and also offer you the last. They will also wait for you to roll your eyes back in delight with your first bite. They’re lovely people and love their guests.
Made this last night and it came out fantastic! Served it with spicy Moroccan meatballs and roasted eggplant ; they went great together. I made a wish while turning it out and was a bit disappointed when a handsome Persian man failed to appear but the friends I made it for were very happy. That dress is drop dead gorgeous! We need more videos from you and I think everyone would be happy if you did a little fashion show.
Bless you this is so beautiful!!! I have Iranian friends that taught me so much about their culture. I however always put thinly slice potatoes at the bottom of the pot and then pour the rice on top. Then it comes out like a cake.
Tara this was delishhhhh! First time to make Persian rice although I've eaten it many times and I was happy when I saw the crispy bottom my Persian friends would tell me about! I also appreciate the simplicity of your ingredients because I only had saffron on hand. Thanks again!
I love to listen to this beautiful Persian lady. Apart from being stunningly beautiful, she is articulate, precise, and thorough with a clear diction and meticulous method of showing step by step progression of food preparation. It is obvious that she is dedicated to her art and enjoys sharing it with us. I wish her and her family all the best.
Thanks a million, it was like pulling teeth trying to get my Persian relatives to instruct me on this over the phone. Excellent step-by-step instructions, including rice brand and pot recommendations. Also you're hilarious. I love how thoughtful you seemed when pausing to think up a "wish" be4 flipping the pot. Lol. P.S. From one gal to another, your bosom is gorgeous 😁 Sexy, yet also classy.
Not sure who or what is cuter, Tara or the tahdiq. Thank you Tara. We live in Colorado, and my partner of 10 years is Persian. His cousins make tahdiq whenever we go to visit them in Florida. They are all very warm and wonderful family. I am scandinavian and am frankly intimidated by the prospect of ever making a tahdiq as amazing as his cousins'. Instead we got a Persian rice cooker from a store in L.A. I follow the recipe that came with the appliance, turn it on, and wait. Makes terrific tahdiq. My touch is experimenting with spices like saffron and cardomon, and I love to add Persian cranberries which gives it a nice kick. Now if he would only marry me, that would be my tahdiq!
10 years and he won't marry you? 🙁 That makes me sad. It seems like you really want to if you are mentioning it here. I hope you achieve your heart's desire. 10 years is a long time to be kept waiting.
@@kitkat2263 that's really none of your bussiness. Not everyone's goal in life is to marry. If you think that the only purpose of life is to get married you need to think deeper. Is marriage the only proof of love? With such high divorce rate, I don't think so. Peace
I just made this last night and the texture of my rice under the tahdig was great, but parts of my tahdig got burned :( I used a nonstick pan but I have a feeling the culprit may have been my particular stove top. I followed the cook times that were recommended in the video too.... Next time I will cook for less time than was suggested in the video. Will also add in saffron for more flavor! Thank you for this recipe! It was definitely fun to try!
This is such a GREAT video. I love your intro! It would be great to see you branch out on different types of videos, you have such a great talent and you’re a natural :)
I am a single Iranian man. Professional chef. I would marry her. Best intro to any Persian recipe video ever. Maybe trump should make the leaders of Iran some good tahdig. That’d prolly smooth things over. Lol
OMG! I was just watching SHAHS and was craving some taidig and the first video I see is from Tara. Oldie but goodie. Hi Tara!! BTW Sherv was an asshole to you. I can’t wait to make this. 😋
Hi! love this video. Since i was a baby, i have been surrounded by persian culture because my Nanny is persian and would make tahdig once a week, but she made it with potatoes in the crust as well as crispy rice. Also I might have missed it, but WHERE'S THE SAFFRON?????????????
9:50 I wish there was a close up of the prepared rice but the cameraman was fired in the middle of filming I'm guessing. What happened to the saffron rice on top?
I’m so surprised that after so many years,I just stumbled on your channel now!,, I probably going to bing all your videos tonight. So comforting to watch my childhood dishes being done with clear instruction. Well done Tara. Btw: how did you get that beautiful color on tahdig without saffron ? 🤗🥰
hi Tara! just wondering - in the video you say to leave the final rice set-up to cook for 35 minutes, but in the description you say to leave it for an hour. which would be best? thank you!
I enjoying by watching your videos .❤️ Could you please make a chicken the bottom of rice? Thanks خیلی متشکر از برنامه تون، دوستان امریکایی من عاشق مرغ زیر پلو هستن و در این صورت میتونم ویدیوی شما را براشون بفرستم.❤
Hi Tara, I just subscribed to your channel and I’m looking forward to many more dishes in the near future. Honestly, watching your videos (just a few that I watched) I’m very impressed with your cooking skills and little touch up. Thank you!
Hi Tara! I'm in the process of learning how to cook Basmati rice Persian style. I've made it a few times but I see why the right pot is important!. I followed the link to Amazon for the pot you reccomend. However, it's unavailable and they don't know when or even if this paticular pot will ever be available. I was wondering if you have any other recommendation, I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your kind attention.🤗
