Much has been said and written about our social,political and cultural differences,but when when it comes to food,hardly can any one resist dishes like Biriyani,Chelo kebab and Mughlai recipes.Our cultural or social values may contradict each other but our love for rich,delicious food will always remain the same.Islamic cuisine is one of the world most loved cuisine.Whichever country or continent they have ruled, have left their signature dishes behind which is treasured by that part of the world.One has to appreciate their culinary skills and and the way they use spices.
I am fond of exploring cuisines from other parts of the world which led me to discover this wonderful Iranian (Persian) cuisine ,which has many similarity with ours and yet has its own individuality. I explored many facts and stories about their country and religion which eventually influenced their cuisine. Iran is a country in Western Asia and is surrounded by countries like Armenia, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan and Pakistan.What's more the ancient warrior of Greece,Alexander The Great,conquered this Persian Empire back on 4th century,and later it was invaded by Arabs,Mongols and Uzbeks. As a result all this country's cuisine got assimilated in Iraq.
From Kebab to Smoked Fish and from Falafel to Rose water scented Ice Cream,Iranian cuisine is all about flavors and Spices and so I am all geared up to learn and share some of the most irresistible Persian recipes. Khoresh-E-Gheymeh is one such heavenly dish,I hope you will like the recipe.
