One of my best friends growing up was from Iran. His mom is the nicest woman ever, and almost every time I stayed over she would cook persian kebab with persian rice, and serve it with a big fried tomato on top of the rice. To this day I have never tasted anything better in my life! Seeing this video brought back a lot of happy memories. I have to try to cook both the rice and the kebab at home.

Best video and authentic Persian way of making the Best basmati rice ,,,, I am Dakota Sioux Indian ,,,, my husband was from Shiraz ,,,,, he made the perfect rice every time and he patiently taught me how to do it too..... went through a few trial and errors before I finally got it right.... He died 7 years ago ....miss him still ....always will. ..... we learned about each other's culture .... and foods.... We had an Native American Indian and Persian household .....

Now I love Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and all that rice, but there's something so fluffy and light about Persian rice. I could just eat this stuff forever.

@@Orlanzepol123 Hi Orlando. Persians do not eat plain rice alone. There are dozen or so stews that you can eat plain rice with. Also plain rice is served with several kabobs, barbecued meat. Another dozen dishes uses rice with mixed ingredients. Plain rice can also be cooked without straining by adding just enough waster and far less salt.

I first tasted rice in Iran in 1967 while going overland to Australia and have never tasted the same anywhere else since. Thanks for that method...wish you well.
