HowTo: Persian Herb Rice with Fried Fish "SabziPolo ba Mahi سبزی پلو با ماهی "

SORRY FOR THE TYPO AT 1:30 OF THE VIDEO. WE MEANT 'PEPPER', WE DO NOT RECOMMEND PAPER :)
Today, we are passionately demonstrating the art of Herb Rice with Fried Fish also known as SabziPolo ba Mahi, popular for the fact that it is traditionally cooked and served on the first day of the Persian New Year (Nowrouz). The crispiness from the beautifully fried fish drizzled with lemon juice, and the fresh feeling from the herb rice with a bite from that Tahdig is what most Persians look forward to every year. Well, atleast I do.

Growing up I was always on the counter next to my grandma, mama, and aunts, watching them as they cooked the good stuff and sneaked me a bite.
Due to migration, it got taken away from me pretty early in life but there was one thing that always took me back home- the food…
