BAGHALI POLO BA MORGH باقالی پلو با مرغ

April 14, 2015 By Homa 52 Comments

Baghali Polo ba Morgh
Baghali is Farsi for Fava Beans and in Azeri it is Pakhla. When you  mix the amazing Persian steamed rice with baghali and shevid (dill), it is called Baghali Polo. If you have ever tasted green fava beans you know how delicate and buttery they are. The taste is like no other bean and when it is paried with the subtle and pleasant flavors of dill and Basmati rice, this ever popular delicious rice is created.  Baghali Polo is fluffy and full of flavor and it complements a variety of meats such as chicken, turkey, lamb or beef; stewed, braised, or grilled!  Today I’m preparing my favorite rice with tender, delicious chicken cooked in saffron tomato sauce, or Baghali Polo ba Morgh, or chicken with fava bean and rice.

Fresh green fava beans are available for a short few weeks in mid to late spring. This time of year in Iran the produce bazaars have fresh fava beans in pods and most stores give you the option of buying and cleaning the fava beans yourself, or for a minimal fee (by Western standards) the store owner will have them cleaned and delivered to your door within a couple of days. The process of cleaning the fresh fava beans is a time consuming task which involves, first removing the pod to expose the beans, then removing the outer skin of the beans (the beans above have the skin) before cooking them. This is one of those time saving and fairly inexpensive services that is available in Iran, among many other, that I find most intriguing when I visit there.

Fava Beans and Dill
Faba Beans
 I have used fresh frozen Fava Beans in this recipe (the picture above).  The beans come in a 14-16 ounce package and are ready to use. This product is available in Middle Eastern and some Asian markets. To thaw, place the frozen beans in a colander and briefly rinse under hot water.  Dill (shivid) is a native herb to the Mediterranean region and is loaded with nutrients and antioxidants and is a great addition to many recipes fresh, dry, or frozen.  In this recipe I have used fresh dill, that is also available in Middle Eastern and some Asian markets.
Fava beans and Rice
Right before steaming

Please follow the instructions for making the Persian Steamed Rice up to the point where rice grains are soft on the edges and firm in the center. Add the fava beans to the boiling water with rice and bring it to another boil and then drain in the colander and rinse under cold water. Heat the oil and butter in the pot and cover the bottom of the pot with lavash pieces, then layer the rice and fava bean mixture with fresh chopped dill or dried dill. Sprinkle the top with optional saffron.  Cover the pot with damkesh or a kitchen towel and steam for 45 minutes to one hour, or until the steam rises, the rice grains are tender and the Tahdig is crispy and golden.

Cook the chicken pieces with turmeric, salt, pepper, onion halves and water until tender.  Discard the onion halves.

Sprinkle with saffron
covered with saffron

Sprinkle the optional saffron over the chicken pieces and use the back of a spoon to rub it all over the top.  This gives the chicken a very rich color using very little saffron, but you may add more if you wish so.

fried onions
fried onions and tomato paste

Fry the sliced onions, add the tomato paste and saute until aromatic and add it to the cooked chicken.
chicken in sauce1
Cook the chicken pieces in tomato sauce for 30 minutes, then turn and let the other side cook in the sauce for 30 minutes.
Baghali Polo ba Morgh
To serve Baghali Polo ba Morgh use a spatula to transfer the steamed rice to a serving dish and arrange the chicken pieces around the rice.  The Tahdig should release very easily, break it up to pieces so everyone can help themselves to this delicious treat.
Lavash Tahdig
and see for yourself why the Tahdig (bottom of the pot) is the best part of any pot of Persian rice.  Enjoy Baghali Polo ba Morgh with a piece of Tahdig on the side.

UPDATE:  Variation:  Sometimes substitute peeled Edamame Beans (green soybeans) for Fava Beans in this recipe for a delicious way to add nutritious Edamame Beans to your diet and see what you think!  (Pictured below)

BAGHALI POLO BA MORGH
 
Print
Serves 6
Author: Homa
Recipe type: Main Dish/ Stew & Rice
Cuisine: Persian
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds skinless chicken drumsticks or thighs (about 6 large)
  • 1 ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 ¼ tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 medium yellow onion, cut in half
  • 2 ½ cups cold water
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced thin and fried to golden brown (4 ounces fried onions)
  • 3 TBSP vegetable oil for frying the onion
  • 2 TBSP tomato paste
  • 1 TBSP fresh lemon juice
  • ⅛ tsp optional saffron powder
  • Extra water, as needed
  • FOR THE RICE- (PLEASE FOLLOW THE COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PERSIAN STEAMED RICE)
  • 2 ½ cups Basmati rice
  • Salted water for boiling the rice
  • 14-16 ounces frozen or fresh green fava beans
  • 1 cup chopped fresh dill or ⅓ cup dried dill
  • 4 TBSP vegetable oil
  • 1 TBSP butter
  • Lavash pieces for Tahdig
  • Dash of saffron, sprinkled on top of the rice before steaming (optional)
Instructions
  1. Add the chicken pieces, water, onion halves, turmeric, salt and pepper to a 12-inch nonstick skillet (the chicken pieces will be in a single layer). Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, skim off any foam from the top. Reduce heat to medium low, cover the skillet and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chicken is no longer pink inside and fork tender. Discard the onion halves
  2. Meanwhile in another skillet fry the sliced onions in 3 TBSP of vegetable oil until golden brown. Add tomato paste and saute for another 3-5 minutes over medium low heat until aromatic. Set aside.
  3. Sprinkle the top of cooked chicken pieces with the optional ⅛ tsp saffron and use the back of a spoon to smear it on the surface. This will give chicken a rich saffron color as it cooks without using too much saffron; mix a few drops of the broth with saffron if needed.
  4. There should be about 1½ inches of broth in the skillet at this point. Add extra water if needed.
  5. Add the fried onion mixture to the skillet and stir to mix it with the broth. Add fresh lemon juice and bring it to a boil.
  6. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces and continue to simmer covered for another 30 minutes until very tender. Serve over Baghali Polo.
  7. To make the Baghali Polo (Fava Bean and Dill Rice):
  8. Please follow the instructions for cooking the Persian Steamed Rice.
  9. After about 7 minutes of boiling in salt water, when the rice is firm in the center and tender on the two ends, add the fava beans to the pot. Bring the water to another boil and then immediately drain in a colander and rinse with cold water.
  10. Heat the oil and butter in the nonstick pot, cover the bottom of the pot with lavash or tortilla pieces.
  11. Add ⅓ of the cooked rice and fava bean mixture over the lavash. Sprinkle with ⅓ of the fresh or dried dill. Repeat 2 more times until you have used up all the rice mixture and dill. Sprinkle the top with the optional saffron. Cover with a kitchen towel or Damkesh and steam over medium low heat for 45 minutes to one hour, or until steam rises, the rice grains are tender, and the Tahdig is crispy and golden.

    A Persian favorite beautifully presented! Both very aromatic, you have described fava bean and dill weed so perfectly, two ingredients which go well together, mixed in Persian style rice. Tahdig, of course is to die for. Chicken braised in seasoned tomato sauce is awesome too.

    Growing up, my mother made baghali polo with dried dill and baby lima beans which are easily found in the freezer section of the regular grocery store, and require no prep other than defrosting. So I have followed this, but recently my mother-in-law pointed out that this is not traditional, and that fava beans should be used instead. For readers who cannot access fava beans like the Sadaf brand shown in this post, I’d like to suggest that the baby lima beans, while not very traditional, are an acceptable substitute. Thank you again for wonderful recipes and instruction!

    Dear Brisa, thanks for mentioning using baby lima beans in this recipe; that is what I used for all those years that I was not able to buy the fava beans that I buy from my Persian store now! They are as good a substitute as the edamame beans that I have mentioned in this post. Keeping up with our culinary traditions, though very noble, should not keep us from recreating the recipes that are so near and dear to our heart, even if it means using a different ingredient!

    Dear Homa,

    I am so glad that I have found your blog. I like your approach to making tahdig. It is much easier for a novice Persian cook to understand (and less nailbiting!) than some of the others. Also, the pictures on your website are beautiful and your recipes are well written. I have already tried several of your recipes and they came out great. I have a new found confidence with cooking Persian rice, and, now, I will do some creative cooking of my own. Thank you so much!!!

    Hi Homa,

    I’ve been wanting to make this, but I couldn’t find frozen fava beans anywhere in Pittsburgh. Brisa’s comment about lima beans was very funny, and that’s what I used (we grow dill on our porch so that was not a problem). My mother-in-law has not yet critiqued my cooking, but I guess I should prepare myself for the inevitable. ?

        Hi Homa,

        Hope you are well. I found frozen fava beans and tried to make this more traditionally for a change. First, my package said “do not defrost before using” but they were not shelled, and it was difficult to get the shells off the frozen beans! At dinner the now-preschooler said she wants it with “real lima beans” next time. My husband likes it best with no dill, so we’ll just be over here crassly Americanizing your lovely recipes! Sorry, haha –

          Hi Allison, it is great to hear from you dear friend! Hope all is well with you and your family too. Yes, I also prefer the real lima beans, haha! That is precious..
          I’m sorry that the fava beans gave you such a hard time. There are two kinds of frozen fava beans, peeled and unpeeled! The one that is used in this recipe is the peeled one,’do poosteh’ in Farsi! I hope next time you’ll be able to find the peeled ones. There is nothing wrong with modifying the recipes to your family’s taste. Please take care and keep in touch 🙂

    Wonderful recipe and clear, concise instructions!

    I was able to make a vegan version of this using some extremely rich greek olive oil instead of the butter and lupin filets in place of the meat.
    Much healthier than using animal products and tastes just as great!

    Is the lavash you use in this recipe cooked like bread or to more of a cracker consistency? Would a split pita work?

    Reply
    • Homa says

      November 3, 2017 at 4:38 pm

      The closest bread to lavash is flour tortilla, which delivers a tad thicker but equally beautiful and delicious tahdig. Split pita is thicker than both; it will work but I prefer tortilla to pita.

    Can’t wait to cook this. Looks scrumptious! However, please don’t cry??….I use pressure cookers frequently when making meat stews or chicken. I am always told they are delicious. Would you mind if I made the chicken thighs using the oressure cooker?

    Although I agree fava beans are delicious , these do tend to cause anemia, so one has to be careful not to eat fava beans often or in great amounts.I personally try to avoid eating them.

    Is it all right if I add sumac to rice?

    It’s fava season! I made baghali polo and it was wonderful. I’ve had it with lamb shanks in restaurants so I made them too. I combined some recipes I found online (you don’t have one yet, it seems) and my wife and I were very happy with it. I salted the shanks and rubbed them with a mixture of 2T of your Meat II spice blend and 1T of your rice spice blend (both of which I always have on hand). I braised them with browned onions, carrots, orange bell peppers, garlic, tomato paste, saffron, rose water, bay leaf, thyme, orange zest, limoo omani, a little red wine to deglaze (Shiraz to be historically accurate) and beef stock. I may have a new springtime ritual.

        I will definitely make baghali polo with frozen favas out of season, now that I see how easy it is; that is the way I’m used to it from restaurants. But the tedium of double peeling two pounds of fresh favas was well worth it while they were available. I won’t mind not peeling them off-season, I must admit!

        Thanks again for all your inspiration.

    Hello Homa 🙂

    Several times I had the opportunity to taste some of the delicious meals my Persian sister-in-law prepares. I managed to replicate my favorite dishes (Baghali Polo and Adas Polo) but sadly I was never able to create that fluffy rice – until now that I’ve found your blog!

    Here in Germany fava beans are called “dicke Bohnen” which translates into “fat beans”. 😉 I buy them frozen, cook them for just a few minutes the day before and enjoy my 11yo son eagerly helping me peel them. We love to eat Baghali Polo with veal, cooked with onions, and of course Māst o Musir.

    Thank you for your beautiful blog and your lovely recipes! <3

    Hi Karenne, Yes, you could use cubed boneless chicken breasts. However, this recipe has bone-in chicken pieces and substituting that with boneless is going to effect couple of factors in the recipe. It will cook in less time, but keep in mind that bone-in chicken naturally produces more broth, so you might also need to add more water.
