you never boil the water firs? 20 minutes?
Amir khan, salam, i think you want to know if we need to boil the water first. if this is your question. i dont boil the water first, but it is ok if you want to do it. i have done it both way and it does not make any difference . but of course it is a matter of preference. thank you and keep it cooking.
Dear KShar,
I must tell you I am enjoying so much your cooking videos. You explainations are perfect and easy to understand. I was not cooking for awhile traditional foods but since seeing your videos I cook them almost everyday. Your personal touch to the foods you make are very beautiful. I especially liked the flowers you put after making the rice with tadeck. It looked like a hat, so sweet!

salam kamran jon,
so sorry, dont know how I could have missed your comment. So glad you are enjoying the videos, how do you like your Joojeh Kabab? and may I ask where you live? where I live is too cold right now and Joojeh Kabab is on my summer out door cooking videos. Coming before you know it. Good to have you in my kichen,, keep it cooking, and thank you much.
love your videos. I make lot’s of these dishes since I love Persian food and am married to an Iranian man for 19 yrs.
I am on a fairly low-carb diet myself, and we need to go easy on the rice (both of us)! any low-carb recipes like the koo-koos or meatballs we can have with little or no rice would be appreciated! Khailee Mamnoon!
Hello Cynthia, I will , but in the mean while there are a lot of khoraks, and kokos, that you can make and serve without rice. keep it cooking

Thank you so much Zerrin jon. thank you do that, if you think my work is worth sharing please share it.
I’m not persian, but this is one of my favourite dishes! We would make it at home all the time, but unfortunately we can’t find zereshk in Hong Kong, nor are there any delivery services for persian products here… here’s what my version looks like

looks beautiful. I was going to suggest to you dry cranberries. You are amazing and love your work.
Thanks, KShar. Do dried cranberries really work as good substitutes for zereshk?
Nothing is like the real thing , but chop it a bit and try it. it is the best substitute. Let me know please.
Hi , hope you are doing well. I have question about the color of your saffron, it is kind of red not yellow, would you please tell me how you make your saffron, do you mix it with ice and then hot water? looking forward to hearing from you.
Hot water only Shayan jon.
