In this classic Iranian dish, fluffy basmati rice is layered with tender, buttery fava beans and grassy fresh dill, then steamed until a golden, crisp layer known as tahdig, meaning “bottom of the pot” in Farsi, forms. Brewed saffron water is also splashed between the layers for extra flavor and fragrance. Baghali polo is commonly served alongside braised lamb or a whole fish for Nowruz, the Persian New Year celebrating the first day of spring. If fav
