Directions

  1. Wash and clean the vegetables. ≈ 8 min

  3. Rinse the rice and soak it for a few minutes.
  4. Pour the rice and chopped vegetables into a suitable pot or a traditional Persian Gulf container called a “gemij,” and cook with a glass of water.
  5. After cooking the vegetables, add the seasoning, either vinegar or pomelo juice, and let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. If the dish is not acidic enough, add more until you reach the desired level of acidity. ≈ 3 min
  7. Chop the mint, the onion, and the potato skin. ≈ 8 min
  8. Prepare them in a pan with salt, pepper, cinnamon, and turmeric, using a large amount of oil paint.
