About Tachin

Tachin is a traditional Persian dish celebrated for its vibrant flavors and striking appearance. Often referred to as Persian saffron rice cake, it features a tantalizing combination of basmati rice, saffron, yogurt, eggs, and an array of spices, with additions like chicken or lamb layered inside and cranberries or barberries sprinkled on top. This baked rice dish is rich in carbohydrates from the rice, and depending on the protein used, it can also provide a healthy amount of lean protein. Saffron, a key ingredient, is known for its antioxidant properties. However, Tachin's calorie density may be high due to ingredients like oil and yogurt, making portion control essential for balance. Traditionally served for celebrations, this dish blends cultural heritage with a mix of nutritional benefits and indulgence.
