Chelo ba tahdig from The Cook You Want to Be: Everyday Recipes to Impress (page 202) by Andy Baraghani

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Borani aka the queen of all yogurt dips; Masoor daal with salty yogurt; Sticky-sweet roast chicken; Spicy pork larb with plenty of herbs

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Mine didn't turn out the first try. Definitely make sure that you start to hear the crackle in the first step cooking the saffron/yogurt rice. At 8 minutes I didn't start to hear it yet so I added the rest of the rice - but the first cooking step wasn't done so the tahdig didn't form properly.
