Zireh Polo Kermani Recipe Downloadable PDF

In this downloadable PDF, Hami of 'I got it from my Maman' guides you through his Zireh Polo Kermani recipe with in-depth, step-by-step instructions.

Zireh Polo or Cumin Rice is one of the most nutritious and delicious traditional dishes of the Kerman province. It is prepared with black cumin or a mixture of black and green cumin. Since cumin is one of Kerman's most famous spices and souvenirs, the people of this region use this unique spice in most of their dishes.

Kerman is located in the southeast of Iran and is famous for its long history and strong cultural heritage. The city is home to many historic mosques and Zoroastrian fire temples.

You can prepare Zireh Polo with chicken, meat, or minced/ground meat. However, Cumin Rice in its traditional form is a simple dish that is cooked without meat and completely vegetarian. In this recipe, I show you how Maman’s version with chicken is made.

If you like the taste and the aroma of cumin then you’ll definitely enjoy this dish.
