Tahchin

Tahchin (Persian: ته‌چین ) is an Iranian rice dish primarily consisting of rice, yogurt, eggs, saffron, and various types of meat.

Tahchin translates from Persian as "arranged on the bottom". Tahchin generally consists of two parts: the first part is a thick, saffron-flavored crust called tahdig, often mixed with cooked red meat or chicken; the second part is plain rice that is layered on top of this crust. However, the plain rice layer can be omitted, resulting in a molded tahchin.
