the most important part of Persian meal
Rice is a staple part of every Persian meal and is served variously in almost every Persian family. Gilan and Mazandaran are the main two provinces in the north of Iran that cultivate rice; and the best-known rice is “Sadri rice” from Gilan. This kind of rice is called differently in Iran (“Chelo” or “Polo”) based on how much it’s gotten steamed and what additional ingredients are used to make it. Although Chelo is the official name for plain rice, most people tend to call rice “Polo”. The standard white rice can be served with all kinds of stews (Khoresh), garnishes (nuts, dried fruits, vegetables, and meat incorporated into it), and kabobs.

Sweet food for vegetarians
Kuku is one of the most beloved foods among Persians, but sweet kuku was first made in Qazvin, north of Iran, whose people are so addicted to sweet flavors that they even prefer sweet main course. Kuku Shirin can be served as a dessert, but locals prefer it with Shirin Polo (sweet rice); and if you like sweet food, trust me on this one and give it a chance.

sweet rice served with nuts!
Shirin polo (literally sweet rice) is a desirable food that is cooked and served variously all over Iran; but originally it comes from Qazvin, north of Iran, and is considered as a delicacy. As a result, the dish is served mostly on special occasions; especially at weddings. It is a sweet rice pilaf, sometimes very sweet; nevertheless locals serve this sweet rice with "Kuku Shirin". more sweetness!
