Kateh Iranian Simple Rice

---

I think this way of making rice comes from the north of iran. I prefer this to the more classic polow as it's less work to do and it's faster.my husband has a very interesting way to check if the rice it's done:he spits a little on his finger and places the saliva on the pan. If the spit sizzles the rice is done!!
