@MeMyself Hi, it probably depends on how fresh the dill is, but don’t worry if you lost the colour, as long as the aroma and taste is still there. The only other thing I can think of is that you may have steamed the rice for too long.

@Lisaiscooking Thank you so much for visiting, Lisa.

@Ninamasina Thanks, Nina. You are very lucky to have grown up with both Italian and Persian food influences.

@Jasmine, Grazie, cara.

@Iana Thank you.

@Javane Thanks for the visit. There are, indeed, so many similarities between Afghan and Persian cuisine.

Shayma, I grew up with a persian friend
She’s a kind of Mum to me.

Italian people are defenitely not used to eat any kind of these!
Nice idea to cross the Atlantic once, and come to dinner

@Meeso @Fati @Zurin @So Lovely Thank you so much.

@Maninas The next post shall be the aubergine dish, promise. Thanks so much, as always.

@Azita I, like @tasteofbeirut, love the Irani version with lima beans. Thanks so much for your kind words. The teacup saucer really does remind one of home, doesn’t it? Such a simple homecook’s trick.

@Tasteofbeirut I love that version, too. That’s a lovely idea for a post- thank you- I shall write a post on ‘aushak’ (dumplings filled w leeks) soon- have just started blogging (less than 2 months) so am a little bit slow at the moment

I love the Persian version of this dish with lima beans. I had Afghani food once or twice and loved it so much! I can’t wait to see if you have posted on the dishes I sampled in that restaurant in San Fransico which had dumplings stuffed with leeks I think
