How to make Dezfuli tahini soup
The first step in making tahini soup is cooking mung beans
In the first step of cooking tahini soup, we will start with mung beans. It is best to clean the beans, wash them thoroughly, and soak them in water for a few hours before cooking. Place the soaked mung beans on the stove with some salt and water and continue cooking until they are completely soft and before being mashed. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes for the mung beans to be half-cooked.
The second step is preparing and cooking the rice
To make Tahinih soup, you need to soak the rice in lukewarm water and salt for 3 to 4 hours before cooking. After that, to make the rice grainy and shorten the cooking time, pour the soaked rice into a pot with water and a little oil and place it on the gas stove. To prevent the rice from becoming mushy, add about one and a half to two times the amount of rice.
When the water in the pot boils, add the half-cooked mung beans and stir. Wait until the rice water has completely evaporated. When the water is finished and the rice grains are well steamed, pour the rice and mung beans from the wall of the pot to the middle with the help of a skimmer. This will make the rice in the middle of the pot form a dome shape. Put the lid on the pot and close it. It will take about 30 to 40 minutes for the rice and mung beans to be fully cooked and steamed. During this time, it is better to place the pot on a burner so that the rice does not burn.
Step Three, Adding the tahini
When the rice and mung beans are ready to serve, put them in a dish or container of your choice. Now is the time to add the tahini. When the mung bean pilaf is hot, add the sesame Tahini to it. In preparing Tahini soup, the quality of the Tahini will have a great impact on the taste of the food. Fresh tahini made from quality ingredients has a soft texture and a pleasant aroma. The tahini of the Oghab’s sesame halva makes the taste of your tahini soup more memorable and enjoyable. By eating this dish with fresh vegetables, especially radishes, you have both given the food a better taste and added to its nutrients.
