I'm a kiwi from NZ & married a Persian girl in Shiraz in 95. We lived with her family there for 6 months. We always cooked & ate wonderful Persian food. I flew my parents out for our wedding there & I was just looking through my mums fotos of all those years ago. The memories made me want to create something from that time for her & I found your video & made this meal to perfection. Thanks for making this & bringing back wonderful memories. Jeli moharbat kardid.
I was in Iran in September 2022. I loved the friendliness of the people, the culture and the food. I loved this dish and I finally decided to remake it.
That looks so incredibly delicious! My neighbor is from Iran and I was invited to dinner with them. So warm and the food was just amazing! That was also the Zereshk. I'll cook it again. I fell in love with Persian cuisine. I'm going to go to the Persian market here in Hamburg this week and buy the ingredients from your video.
I'm from Belgium. We had Iranian neighbors 20 years ago. Their 21-year-old son committed suicide. Every year on the day son passed away, mother brought us this dish every time. It was sooo delicious. We ate it very happily (with little sadness from son). After years I went to an Iranian restaurant and I ordered this dish. It was absolutely not as tasty as what made us neighbour. I'm sure this prep in this video is going to be as delicious as our neighbor made it. Thank you!❤
Thank you. What a touching story. I hope my recipe resembles the one that you had from your neighbors. Foods can bring back memories. I would like to know if my recipe is close to what you had before
Food has an important place in Iranian culture. We prepare special dishes and set the table for all ceremonies, whether happy or sad. Zereshk polo is not a common food at mourning ceremonies, but it was probably the poor boy's favorite food. I hope he rest in peace and you can come to Iran and taste the home-made taste of this food again.
I love Iranian food! I have many Iranian friends who are great cooks. I’ve tried this dish too, and it’s truly delicious! I love it, thank you for sharing❤❤❤❤
Potatoes dont go with Zereshk Polo in Persian recipe style thats why comes & eat it with rice & call it Zereshk Polo.. maybe u can use the thin slice of potatoes for crispy thicker in bottom of rice for rich tachdeeg
EVA I WATCHING YOUR VIDEO AND AT THE SAME TIME I M COOKING ZERESHK POLO, MINE USED TO BE TO PLAIN, NOW THANK TO YOU, YOUR HUSBAND AND MOTHER IN LAW, TODAY MI LOVELY IRANIAN HUSBAND GONNA BE SURPRISE !!! YOUR DISH LOOKS JUST FROM THE RESTAURANT WE LIKE TO GO. THANK YOU GIRL, CARMEN
Hi Ate Eva, my partner is Persian too and I've been cooking their dish for quite a while, will definitely follow this recipe po, we are currently base here in Belgium also :)
I tried this recipe with a few little adjustments based on what I have in the pantry! it was soooooo good. Many thanks for your online videos. I'll try Gheemeh next!
Thank you for your appreciation. The savory taste of the chicken is perfect with the sour taste of the barberries. Maybe if you put dried lemon in the chicken, you will get too sour dish
It looks so delicious! I already made persian rice the traditional way, but once I tried it in the rice cooker and I think it came out same. I always think of your video, when I try not to waste any safran ☺️ Now I want to make the chicken, too. I just wrote all the steps down. Do you really use this amounts of paprika and cinnamon? It seems you took a lot of more. liebe Grüße from Germany
Thank you. They have this special rice cooker that Persians use. You can choose which color of tahdig you want. In general, I prefer to use pan in traditional way, I even gave away my rice cooker😅. The paprika poeder can be up to 2 teaspoons, it can't go wrong but the cinnamon, it needs to be just this measurement, or a bit less unless it's more meat ofcourse you add more
@@evaskitchen4010 thank you for your quick answer! I will tell you when I cooked it! I have a rice cooker without tadik-option. Probably you had very good teachers, that you gave your rice cooker away ☺️
Yummylicious but thet rice can be sour and tart snd sweet like Albaloo Polo the Cherry rice. Btw, have you ever prepared shirin polo Orange 🍊, almond, pistachio rice for specisl family occasion and Addas polo for other occasions b4??? My persian friend says that its recommended to be eaten with chicken dishes usually, but NOT with Ghormeh sabzi or koresh the persian stews or so... Quick questions: Are preparations for making perfect Gormeh sabzi so intense like some other persian stews??? Do you think any sweet sour persian rice I mentioned pairs well with beef soltani instead of 🐔 ???? Btw, persian cusines are so unique and interesting flavor at the same time...
I'm sorry for the late response. I haven't tried rice with oranges because this kind of rice, wouldn't be eaten by my husband and 2 children. I love addas polo with meatballs and ghormeh sabzi ( my first favorite Persian food) is better to eat with white rice, same as kebab soltani and kebab koobideh. I think joojeh kebab can be eaten with zereskt polo, albaloo polo and jewel rice
Hi, this is how I learned to prepare saffron from my Persian mother in law. Although I learned on internet you can indeed put it on the ice cubes, i guess i always still use the hot water
Hi, Marlene. Indeed i don't put lemon juice. I suggest that if you want to add lemon juice, better to add it little by little until you reach the desired sourness
Hi, if you click on the video, at the right side just below the video, you can find an arrow facing down. You can click this to find the description of this video.
You can send me your email address at vangiesergio@gmail.com and i will send you the screenshot on where to find the description box. Please give a comment here in you tube if you read this and if you already send me email so i get notification and check my email
Yes, you can. Persian have this cranberry rice as well and with this chicken recipe, it's ok to combined with cranberry rice as substitute for barberries
Iran is a large, beautiful, and ancient country. The people of Iran are kind and cultured. The only problem is the regime of the mullahs in Iran. The people of Iran despise the mullahs. Please remember us by Cyrus the Great and his Cylinder of Human Rights and the help he provided to the Jews, and by Reza Shah the Great who helped Polish refugees, not by the mullahs.
تو ایران خودمون حتی یک درصد هم با دست نمیخوره بعد شما میگی چرا خارجیا با دست نمیخورن؟ چی میگی واقعا؟ سنت ول کن هرطور راحتی همون کار رو بکن و به راحتی بقیه هم احترام بزار

عالی ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
delicious :)
Thank you so much, Liz ❤️
I like it, but some times i see people put lemon juice in it. But u dont, can some one explain me when and how much lemon juice u have to put in?
Hi, Marlene. Indeed i don't put lemon juice. I suggest that if you want to add lemon juice, better to add it little by little until you reach the desired sourness
thank you🙏🏼✨🙏🏼
Thank you too 😊

Thank you 😊
what can i use instead of Barberry, its not available here.
Hi, you can substitute it with dried cranberries, sour cherries, or apricots
How do you view the recipe to determine proportions for ingredients?

Why no salt in the rice??
Hi, Persians put salt in the rice for the taste and to keep it from breaking.
@@evaskitchen4010 I know. But your recipe video doesn’t tell us to put salt, you forgot to add
@fk8344 hi, I did show putting salt in the rice check out at 0:29-0:30 of the video
Just out of curiosity, why can’t we cook the rice the normal way instead of doing that extra step?
Hi, yes I agree with you especially if you are in a hurry. But in this Persian way, you get a very delicious, and fluffy rice
What is this barberry? Is it dried pomegranate?
Hi, barberries are dried barberry . If you can't find, you can substitute with dried cranberries or sour cherry
No tahdig?
Unfortunately not
Can i use dried cranberry instead of barberry?
Yes, you can. Persian have this cranberry rice as well and with this chicken recipe, it's ok to combined with cranberry rice as substitute for barberries
@@evaskitchen4010 thank you 😘 pwede ko po ba gamitin yung pita bread para sa tahdig? Hihi would really love to try your recipe po.
Makapal mostly ang pita bread pero kung tangalin mo ang upper layer para maging manipis pwede as tahdig. Or you can use this potato slices for tahdig
🌹♥️
Thank you 😊
No tadig? :’)
Hi, no tahdig coz I didn't let it stay long on the fire
