  1. Sorry, but this was flat to me. I think it at least needs salt. Perhaps I should have known to cook the rice with salted water?
     
  2. Married to an Iranian, I have been cooking Persian meals for many years. Your recipe is exactly like mine except that I add a little salt when cooking the rice. I must say this was simply delicious. Mamnoon
