Chelo (Iranian Rice)
Chelo is plain Iranian rice. This is usually the foundation of many Iranian rice dishes.
 Recipe Adapted from: Feast of Flavours From the Iranian Kitchen by Hayedeh Sedghi Ingredients: 600 g ( 1 lb 5 oz) Basmati rice washed and drained 4 tbsp salt 4 tbsp cooking oil 1 large potato, sliced thinly 2 tbsp butter, melted Directions: Soak rice and salt in a large bowl for at least 30 min. Add enough water to cover. Parboil rice: half-fill a large pot and bring to a rapid boil. Add drained rice and allow to boil without stirring. Grains should be half-cooked. Drain and rinse.  Pour oil into a medium non-stick pot, swirl to coat evenly. Line with potato slices. Spoon rice over the center of the pot until a mound forms.  Wrap the pot's lid with a clean cloth or a paper towel. This will absorb the steam which will prevent them from dropping into the rice. Dry out the rice over low heat for about 1 hour or until the rice is cooked.  Tadig Dish out the rice and set aside. Carefully lift the potato slices (the tadig). Arrange on a serving plate. Pour butter over the rice evenly before serving the potato slices. Philippine residents: Basmati rice can be purchased at SM Supermarkets, Metro Gaisano, Global City, Taguig. You can either buy them pre-packed or by the kilo.  related searches : Chelo
