DL teacher Bernadette showed her great learning skills when her Iranian student Sara taught her how to make a Persian dish from her country. After sharing the recipe and practising the English for giving instructions Bernadette took the recipe and had a go at cooking the dish in her own kitchen with great success.
Bernadette describes this Persian dish as 'divine' and it has become one of her favourite dishes. She says "Tah-Chin is a layered rice chicken dish which is not only beautiful to present but also very tasty. It is served upside down and cuts like a cake. As my Iranian student Sara explained to me, Iranians love their rice and always layer it with different types of vegetables and meat. The most tasty part of this dish is the bottom layer of the rice, the crunchy 'tah-dig'. My family loved it and I hope some of our students will try it too."

Thanks Sara, It's a unique recipe and is close to biryani from my Indian culture although we use a lot of different spices to spice it up. It would be interesting to try it in my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteYummy! This totally has an awesome outlook. I'm not a good cook but i have to try it one day. Hope i can find enough the spices to make it. Thanks Sara and Bernadette for sharing it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Sara and Bernadette! The dish looks delicious, I'll also have to try making it one day.

ReplyDeleteThanks Sara it is a beautiful dish.I will try to make it some day.
ReplyDeleteYes,It really looks delicious dish.Here,I totally agree with Noor.It shows the relationship between teacher and student and the diversity of cultures.
ReplyDeleteHi Sara and Bernadette, what a lovely story to share close to Harmony Day. It is the cultural diversity and multitudes of cuisines which make Australia such a lovely place to live in.
ReplyDeleteOne of the great joys as a teacher is learning as much from the students as the students hopefully learn from us. This is a dish worth trying to make - even with my rudimentary cooking skills.
ReplyDeleteOh Bernadette!It looks very Well cooked.I definitely should make a dish for my wonderful teacher Darren.I am glad that you enjoyed TAH-DIG as well.I used to fight with my father in law for the crispy part.

Hi Bernadette,
ReplyDeleteI love to try Persian food, when my brother comes to visit me from Chile we're going to a Persian Restaurant in Sydney. Maybe I'm going to try your student's recipe too.
Hello, Bernadette!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your story! And thanks to Sara for her recipe! I really like rice with vegetables and meat or chicken, but the dish for this recipe like the cake and it is possible to prepare for the holiday. I'll try to do it.
Hi Bernadette, In India we use to put vegetables instead of chicken in biryani..Your recipe is almost same as Indian biryani but we don't put egg and yoghurt..

ReplyDeleteI read your article with my DL teacher Mallika and I found it really interesting. I love the fact that it's such an easy recipe and yet looks spectacular. I do not cook very much but I am now motivated to try this recipe out. Thank you for sharing it Sara.
ReplyDeleteSo true, I couldn't have said it better. We can learn so much from our students about their cultures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a privilege it is to be able to learn about other countries without even travelling.
Yummy! Thanks Sara for the recipe and Bernadette too for sharing. It looks very delicious. With Thai food, we also have the food cooked from rice and chicken. But cook with different spices. I have a new way to cook now. I'll try to make it.
