COOKING VIDEO: PARISA'S POTATO TAHDIG RICE ON SEVEN SPICE LIFE

Earlier this fall, I had the great pleasure of being a guest on a Seven Spice Life cooking video, showing the secrets to creating the PERFECT crunchy Potato Tahdig Rice. I had been introduced to Lisa Kiorkis, the talented Assyrian-American woman behind Seven Spice Life, last spring— thru a mutual friend who had a hunch we would have a lot in common and hit it off.

We both are first generation Middle-Eastern/SWANA women whose families live in Arizona. Lisa is currently based out of Phoenix, AZ where she is a boss babe entrepreneur who divides her time between the hair salon she runs with her sister and her work on Seven Spice Life. She has quickly become one of my favorite new people and I find her high-energy, passionate, hard-working and stylish vibe to be magnetic.

We had SO MUCH FUN creating this cooking video. I could seriously spend half my days in Lisa’s kitchen, cooking with her while we just chat about all sorts of subjects— from nerding out about cooking techniques to talking about our varied experiences navigating the world as queer middle-eastern women. The other half of my days, I would want to host delicious, fun, and engaging dinner parties and have guest chefs like Lisa bring their flavors, talents and stories to my dinner party guests.

In this cooking video, you can learn not only how to make my signature Potato Tahdig Rice with its perfect crunchy crust but you will also learn how to make Lisa’s quick and delicious Assyrian Chicken Curry Stew that pairs really well with this rice. For my vegetarian and vegan friends, you can create a vegetarian version of the Curry Stew by omitting the chicken, using vegetable stock, and increasing the quantity of vegetables you put in the stew.

I hope you enjoy this video as much as we enjoyed making it! By the time we finished cooking both dishes, the entire house smelled of fragrant and savory aromas and we were both drooling. Shortly after these shots were taken…we sat down and devoured this meal! Yes, we LOVE TO EAT as much as WE LOVE TO COOK!

I really am confident that if you follow the steps and techniques I highlight in the video on how to make the crunchy Tahdig Rice….that you too will get results like this. I would love to hear from you and see pics of your Tahdig Rice experiments.

Email me at: info@savagemuse or thru my IG: @savage_taste and send me pics of your Tahdig dishes!
