A Persian stew and kabob dish is not complete unless it's served with Persian rice tadhig-saffron rice. On this segment I'll show you how to make this delicious, aromatic rice using lavash as a tadhig (tadig) base.
Soak 2 cups of Basmati rice with a teaspoon of salt in cold water for 2 hours or up to 24 hours
Pour the rice and water into a non-stick pot and pour an additional cup of two of water, so the pot is 3/4 of the way filled.
Cook on medium to high heat for approx 10-12 minutes; rice grains should be Al-dente. Empty the rice and water in a strainer and rice out with cold water.
Using the same pot, add 1 tablespoons of safflower or grapeseed oil and 2 tablespoons of salted butter over low heat until butter melts. Pour the mixture into a bowl and set aside.
The tadhig persian rice in this recipe will require lavash bread. Lavash bread can be found at any Middle Eastern or Indian specialty store. If necessary, you may use a thin flour tortilla as a substitution.
Pour half of the butter mixture into the pot and soak the lavash bread on both sides. Pour the rice over the bread
Saffron: saffron is used in many persian dishes, particularly in it's rices. Saffron comes in different grades and can be found in specialty stores or purchased online by clicking on this link. Place a pinch of saffron in a mortar and pestle and break up the strands without crushing them. Pour hot water into the bowl and allow to sit for 20-30 minutes.
Pour the saffron water into the water mixture and spoon it over the rice and the sides of the pot. Use a small damp towel, place it over the lid and cover. In order to form the golden tadhig it's important to cook the rice on medium heat for 10 minute, reduce and cook for additional 40-50 minutes on low heat.

Simple, and easy to understand. Thank you.
So this is the dish that pops up on Shahs of Sunset from time to time
I'm making this today for the first time, I just began soaking my rice. So many steps, hope I don't mess it up :/
Really? you can't mess it up :-) It's super easy. I guess when it's your first time, it may seem like a challenge. Let me know how it turns out.
why dont you use Milk instead of water to mix the saffron.It tastes much better.
Wow 😍😍☺️👌🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹🌺🌻🌻 nicer recipe please stay connected 🙏
Thank you, I will
Seems delicious
I lived in Iran for 10 years and no one uses butter along with oil the crispy rice at the bottom and they don't use tortillas
We use butter or ghee. Also if people don't, they should. It's far better than canola or grape oil and it tastes better also
My roommate was from Iran and he LOVED using tortillas for his tahdig.
It’s a good substitute. She explains it very well. Excellent!!!
Try it out with Oroleaf Saffron from Amazon.
Is this sweet rice
Subscribed...thanks

Persians don’t butter with saffaron water. They will use one or two eggs and mix a little amount rice with the eggs. Saffaron water is then added on top of the rice.
There are different recipes available
That was one hell of a tablespoon of oil! More like three.
Irani hastin 🙏💓
Baleh :-)
Lavash is an Armenian thin bread why would they sell it in Indian Stores. They sell it in Armenian stores
I think indian store abroad may keep Middle eastern products also
Er it doesn't use bread... ever
Which area of Iran are you from?
Cause in Tehran our family, extended family and even some restaurants we visited used bread. Just like you can use potato slices especially for pasta
