    This was absolutely delicious and full of flavour. I have all the Persian cookbooks, and not one has a curried rice recipe. Really great flavour, looks great, and although is time-consuming, can be done in a Persian rice cooker to speed it up. It is a little on the drier side, so it would benefit greatly with an assortment of suggested chutneys and yogurt, A great side dish.
