Shirin Polo is a festive Persian rice dish featuring fluffy basmati rice layered with candied orange peel, slivered almonds, pistachios, carrots, and sometimes raisins. Lightly sweetened with sugar and infused with rosewater and saffron, it’s often served with chicken, lamb, or meatballs on special occasions such as weddings and Nowruz. Originating from Tehran and parts of northern Iran, Shirin Polo (literally “sweet rice”) combines fragrance, color, and texture to symbolize joy and abundance at the Persian table.
