Noodle rice - reshte polow


If you are a big fan of noodle, you have to try this recipe to experience a new type of noodle dish. For me it is a bizarre food because it combines both rice and noodle in one single recipe. It has aromatic smells from the advieh (spices) and crunchy texture from the sauted noodle. 

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2cup of rice (soaked for at least 2 hours)
- Some Persian noodle (reshteh)
- 1 onion
- 1 tspn turmeric powder
- 1/2 tspn cinnamon powder
- saffron liquid
- Some raisins
- Bread for tahdig
- Butter/oil
- Salt


Methods:

1. Saute reshteh with some butter until golden. Keep eye on it because it can burnt easily. Put aside.



2. In another pan,saute diced onion until translucent, add turmeric and cinnamon. Add raisins and stir well. Put aside.
3. Pre-boil rice with some salt and oil . Add the reshteh. When rice turns al dente, rinse. 
4. Now,the fun part begins. In a pot, pour some oil. Place bread at the bottom for  wonderful tahdig. Put first layer of mixture reshteh and rice, follow with raisin until finish. Pour some liquid saffron on top. Cover and cook in a medium heat for an hour. 






Crispy bread tahdig!!

Serve with your favourite side dishes. This time, I had with Persian Chicken, Salad and Grilled Prawn.
