  Not as tasty as I was expecting, a little dry and bland and I have to admit that we got rather bored eating it.

  Wash the rice in several changes of cold water until the water runs clear, and then soak in warm water with a tsp. of salt for 30 min. Meanwhile, cook the broad beans in boiling water for just 10 min or until completely cooked but nut crushed. Drain the beans and set aside.

  Heat the butter in a large pot, cover bottom of it with potato slices. Then add rice mixture. and cover the pot for 20 to 30 min on medium heat. Serve it with chicken or meat with tomato-onion souse. Use combination of sour yogurt and water and dried mint powder, salt, black pepper for dinking. You can use saffron powder and boiling water for decorating of rice (polo).
