Albaloo Polo – Persian Saffron and Sour Cherry Rice

Albaloo Polo is one of Iran's most beautiful rice dishes. Sweet, sour and fragrant, it combines fluffy saffron rice with sour cherries and tiny meatballs. The key is preserving the shape of the cherries and keeping the rice light and fluffy. This version uses a layered steaming method that creates incredible flavour while keeping the rice separate and delicate.
