Introduction to TahChin
TahChin is a Persian dish that is made from a
mixture of rice, different meats (chicken is more
common), yogurt, eggs, and saffron. TahChin is
considered one of the formal dishes suitable for
parties
and gatherings because of its beautiful
appearance. The first part is the thick, crunchy,
saffron-based rice
that is completely formed. The second part is
white rice that is poured on the crunchy rice.
The white
part can be omitted. In dining salons, it is
often made with crunchy rice, but this style is
less common at
home.
Various Types of TahChin
Despite common belief, the only kind of TahChin
is not chicken TahChin and it can be cooked in
different
ways.

Chicken TahChin
2.
Meat TahChin
3.
Meat and eggplant TahChin
4.

TahChin is baked both in the oven or on the
stove. For the thick crunchy rice, TahChin must
be cooked on
a mild heat with much more time. While serving
TahChin, its better to pour watered butter on
it.

Appetizer And Dessert With Chicken TahChin
The perfect appetizer before having TahChin, or
the Persian appetizer, is Kashke Bademjan, which
is
golden fried eggplants with a touch of garlic,
whey, and mint served with crispy onions, pickled
vegetables, and bread. It is a delicious and
flavorful dish that pairs well with the spicy and
savory taste of
TahChin.
The top dessert afterwards would be Persian
fragrant tea along with Naaz Days cake. Naaz
Days Cake
is a light and fluffy cake infused with rosewater
and cardamom, giving it a unique and aromatic
flavor. It
complements the rich and comforting flavors of
the TahChin, making it the perfect ending to a
satisfying
meal. The fragrant tea adds a refreshing touch,
cleansing the palate and leaving a lingering
taste of
sweetness. It is a delightful way to end a meal.
How to Serve Tahchin
To serve Tahchin in the best way and in the most
authentic manner possible, you need to follow the
traditional methods and techniques. The most
challenging part is taking Tahchin out of the
cooking pot
without destructing the delicate layers of dough.
One method is to carefully invert the pot onto a
serving platter, allowing the TahChin to slide
out in
one piece. Another technique is to use a sharp
knife to gently loosen the edges of the TahChin
before
carefully flipping it onto a plate. Both methods
require patience and precision to ensure the dish
maintains its beautiful presentation.
You can serve Tahchin by garnishing it with fresh
herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, to add a pop
of color
and freshness. Additionally, serving it with a
side of yogurt or a tangy sauce, like tzatziki or
a lemon-
garlic aioli, can enhance the flavors and
complement the creamy texture of the TahChin.
History of Tahchin
Not that far past, in Kings kitchen, after
serving food by the King, servants ate leftovers.
Once there was
a quarrel among them on crunchy rice. The King
heard the voice and asked for the reason.
When he understood the story, he started to give
it a try. He recently found out how deeply he was
deprived of such a delicate taste. He ordered to
punish the servants and also ordered to bring him
the
crunchy rice before the main course from now on.
Another story narrates that one of the chefs
leaves the rice unattended while cooking Chelo
Morgh
(chicken with rice), and it becomes too smooth.
The chef was afraid of what happened and got help
from saffron, yogurt, and eggs so that the king
would
4
forgive him. The first TahChin was born in this
way! It was a unique and delicious dish that the
chef had
never made before.
