PERSIAN RICE WITH GOLDEN CRUST
Tah-dig is the Persian word for the crunchy layer of rice that forms on the bottom of the pan. We think it tastes fantastic.

Steps:
- Rinse the rice thoroughly in water.
- Bring 2 quarts of water with 2 tablespoons of salt to a boil. Pour drained rice into boiling water and add either the liquid at the top of yogurt or a spoonful of yogurt.
- After boiling for 3 minutes test the rice. you want it to still be firm in the center. If it is not quite ready give it a few more minutes but do not stir the rice.
- When ready strain rice completely and rinse with lukewarm water. Make sure rice is completely strained and grains are not packed too tightly.
- Start a saucepan over medium heat with 1/3 cup of vegetable oil or butter.
- To make the crust mix 1 egg with a teaspoon of yogurt, saffron or turmeric, and some salt in a small bowl.
- Add about 1 cup of rice to the mixture and coat.
- When oil is hot, put egg-coated rice down first, covering the bottom of the pan.
- Then sprinkle remaining rice into the pan using a large slotted spoon. It is important to sprinkle the rice, rather than dump all at once, so it stays fluffy and doesn't get compressed.
- Poke three holes into the rice by using the bottom of the spoon handle. This releases steam.
- Wrap the lid in a clean kitchen towel and put firmly over saucepan. The towel absorbs the steam, preventing moisture from dripping back into the rice and making it soggy.
- The covered pan should stay on high heat for a few minutes until it is steaming. You can tell if it's steaming without taking off the lid by flicking water drops on the outside of the saucepan. If it sizzles and evaporates immediately, the rice is probably steaming, and you can turn it down to medium-low.
- Cook for 30 minutes at this setting, or even lower for an hour, depending on the timing of the rest of your meal.
- When ready to serve, replace lid with a large plate. Flip the pan so rice transfers to the plate crust side up.

PERSIAN RICE WITH A GOLDEN CRUST / CHELOW

Steps:
- 1. Place the rice in a large bowl and add cold water to cover by 3 inches. Swirl the rice around with your fingers until the water becomes cloudy, then pour through a strainer to drain. Repeat the process until the water remains clear. This will take 4 to 6 rinsings.2. Place 8 cups of the water and the salt in a large shallow pot (preferably nonstick the pot should be 10 to 12 inches across and about 6 inches deep) and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-high, add the rice, and cook, uncovered, at a brisk simmer for 6 minutes. Pour the rice into a strainer, rinse under cool running water, and drain well. Wipe out and dry the rice pot with paper towels.3. Meanwhile, place the saffron threads in a small bowl and grind to a fine powder with a pestle or the end of a wooden spoon. Add the 1 tablespoon warm water and let soak for 5 minutes.4. In a separate bowl, combine the clarified butter, yogurt, and another 1/2 cup water and whisk to mix. Pour this mixture evenly over the bottom of the rice pot. Spoon a 1/2-inch layer of rice evenly over the yogurt mixture. Without disturbing this layer, add the remaining rice, mounding it toward the center. Sprinkle the top of the mound with the dissolved saffron mixture. Cover the pan and place it over medium heat for 8 minutes.5. Remove the lid and sprinkle the rice with an additional 1/2 cup water. Reduce the heat to low. Wrap a clean kitchen towel around the pot lid, piling any excess cloth on top of the lid. (You want to keep the cloth away from the heat.) Place the cloth-covered lid over the rice and cook until the rice on top is tender and the rice on the bottom of the pot has formed a dark golden crust, about 40 minutes. Check after 30 minutes, and if you don't see a crust, increase the heat slightly.6. To serve, spoon the loose rice on top into a serving bowl, leaving the crusty rice at the bottom. Place a round platter over the pot. Invert the pot and give it a little shake. The crusty rice should slide out in a golden brown disk. Cut the crust into wedges and serve it next to the loose rice.Serves 6Note: To clarify butter, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and pour off the golden liquid (the clarified butter) into a glass measure or heatproof jar discard the white milk solids that have settled in the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate any unused clarified butter for up to a month.

- Finally place the rice in a large bowl or pot, add 1/4 cup of salt and enough cold water to cover it by about 1 inch and soak overnight, or for at least 6 hours.

- Serve at once.
- Traditionally, when served with skewered broiled meat or chicken, the rice is served mounded into individual portions with a well in the center of each.

Steps:
- To cook the rice
- 1. Fill a large nonstick saucepan (at least 6 quarts) with 12 cups water; add oil and salt. Cover and bring to a brisk boil over high heat.
- 2. Add the rice and continue cooking over medium to high heat, stirring occasionally.
- 3. After 3-5 minutes, use a slotted spoon to scoop some grains from the water. Break one grain in half to make sure it is "al dente" (see above). Turn off the heat and pour rice into the colander to drain; set aside.
- To steam and make tadig
- 1. Place the empty 6-quart saucepan back onto the stovetop over medium heat. Add 1/4-inch canola oil and 2 tablespoons water. Add turmeric and/or saffron powder. Stir together.
- 2. Add the drained rice and shape it into a pyramid. Cover the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until rice begins to steam.
- 3. Uncover and place 2 paper towels (one on top of the other) over the rice. The ends will extend outside the pot. Replace the lid tightly.
- 4. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes. Turn off the heat and tilt the lid until ready to serve.
- 5. With a wide spatula, scoop the rice from the pot, making sure not to disturb the crust (tadig) that formed on the bottom of the pot. Serve the rice on a flat serving platter, mounding it into the shape of a pyramid. Turn the tadig out onto a flat serving platter by inverting the pot, as you would invert a cake pan, or cut it into pieces and serve around the rice.
- Optional garnish: Saffron Rice
- 1. To make saffron water, mix together 1 teaspoon crushed saffron threads and 1/4 cup hot water. Steep for a few minutes, until the water becomes yellow.
- 2. Mix saffron water with steamed white rice. Use this intensely yellow rice to make designs on the Chelo.
- To reheat this rice:
- Pour 1/2 cup water mixed with 1/4 cup canola oil onto the pyramid in a large pot. You can also freeze this rice, as long as you do not stir it until it is completely defrosted. You can even cook it, freeze it, and later steam it as it defrosts. I know I will have to spend time in "rice hell" for admitting to freezing Persian rice, but it is worth it to make my life easier!

- It is actually very easy to prepare Kateh; first, the number of the cups of rice depends on the number of people.
- Rinse the rice with tepid water, add 1 teaspoon of salt for each cup of rice and let it soak in water for 2 or 3 hours. The water should cover the rice completely and its surface should be about 2cm above the surface of rice.
- Then, pour the rice in a non-stick pot and add some oil to it; put the rice on a moderate heat (this is where you should add the brewed saffron too and stir well). When the water is almost gone, stir the rice, envelope the pot lid with rice steaming cover and after 10 minutes, your delicious Kateh is ready.
- Set the pot aside and wait for a few minutes. Flip the slightly cooled rice in a plate for a crunchy, golden, and delicious rice Tahdig. Serve it Persian kebabs and stews. Enjoy!
