hello! i have a blog based out of new york city and I love mideastern food. this dish actually looks like biryani (a bengali dish). i also just posted 3 stories about lebanese food in suburban Detroit, Michigan that you might find interesting. could you post the recipe for Dam-Pokhtak? I would love to try to prepare the dish!

Interesting blog. این hntrnyc چه با مزه مینویسه!
This looks like a nice dish, however as far as most Iranians are concerned, the original Dam-pokht or Dam-pokhtak only contains fried onions, rice, lapeh-baaghaali (in English known as x-large split fava Peru, yellow in colour), butter, turmeric and some salt.
Feel free to look it up elsewhere too. When people make variations, it would be a good idea for the sake of those unfamiliar with the dish, to inform the reader that this is a variation and not the original. Thanks.
