Tahchin

Tahchin is a delightful Persian dish that features layers of saffron-infused rice mixed with yogurt, eggs, and sometimes chicken or lamb. The rice mixture is seasoned with spices such as turmeric and saffron, which impart a rich golden hue and fragrant aroma. The layers of rice are compacted and baked or steamed until they form a crispy golden crust on the outside while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside. Tahchin is often garnished with barberries, almonds, or pistachios, adding a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.
