Baghali polow (Persian: باقلا پلو); is an Iranian dish of rice, fava beans and dill. In Persian, baghali means fava bean, while polo is pilaf, a traditional Persian style of cooked rice. It is made by cooking rice and green broad beans in boiling water. When cooked, the rice and beans are layered with dill in a pan, and everything is baked. Saffron water can also be added to the rice.[1] It is typically served with meat.[2] Like other Iranian traditional foods, the dish may be served at special occasions and family gatherings.[3]
