Great recipe of Galyah, Taken from the Persian Cook Book, Presented by The sisterhood of the Persian Hebrew congregation, Skokie, IL
Used with kind permission.
My notes:
The recipe does not mention water amounts used to cook. I know the water gets absorbed and you should add during cooking. The Galyah is usually mixed to make “Kuarmah” – with potatoes, eggs and more
