Hello
Thank you for teaching us how to make it in the oven… We have an International Bazaar next week and I’m going to make Tahchin for that. Can you tell me how many cups of dry rice and how much chicken you used for that size of pyrex in the video? I will use the 2 to 1 cup proportion of rice to yogurt that u mentioned in the last comment and I will follow the amount of egg and onion that u used in the blender for that dish.

KShar October 20, 2011 at 6:55 pm: Hi Aida, thank you for your comment. I used 3/4 of a whole kitchen, but this its a matter of taste, if you dont like too much meat , put less. keep it cooking

Hi Kshar, this looks great like your other recipes. I was just wondering how many pounds of chicken did you use and what are the proportions of rice, yogurt and eggs to the chicken? I’m not as experienced as you are so sometimes specially with new dishes that I make I would like to no the exact recipe first:) Thank you!

KShar March 5, 2012 at 3:21 am: Hello Nahal jon, this all depends on how much meat you like in your tahchin, what I make is for 4 to 6 people. 3 cups of rice two pounds of chicken, three cup of yogurt one eggs one tb spoon of lime juice, one small onion, salt and pepper to your liking. Good luck and let me know how it turned out, you are going to love it. keep it cooking.

Thank you K-shar, I will let you know! Just one question, you used two eggs right??

KShar March 6, 2012 at 11:14 pm: You use one to two eggs depend on cooking 2 cups or 3 cups of rice.

Istfan May 15, 2012 at 8:33 pm

Salaam KShar! I’m a technical person just learning to cook and not so good at estimating. Specifically how much salt and how much pepper would you say I should use in the sauce mixture? I noticed you added both salt and pepper again while mixing in the yogurt. Also, how do you make your saffron water? My cookbook says to use 1 part saffron for 6 parts water. Merci!

daniella October 17, 2012 at 5:54 pm

I was just wondering if there is a way to make this dish without the yogurt?

daniella October 17, 2012 at 5:58 pm

KShar October 18, 2012 at 2:03 am: Ok, tell me what you like about tah chi, then i will try to create some thing new for you. thank you and keep it cooking.

KShar October 18, 2012 at 2:01 am
