Baghali Ghatogh | Traditional Stew From Iran | TasteAtlas

Baghali ghatogh

(Baghala ghatogh)

Baghali ghatogh is a traditional dish originating from northern Iran. The dish is usually made with a combination of lima beans, dill, eggs, butter, turmeric, garlic, saffron, salt, and pepper. The turmeric and garlic are cooked in butter until fragrant, and then mixed with dill, cooked beans, crushed saffron, and water.


The mixture is simmered over medium heat until the beans become tender. The dish is seasoned with salt and pepper, and then a few shallow wells are formed with a spoon in the bean mixture. An egg is cracked into each well, and baghali ghatogh is cooked until the eggs set.


Before serving, the dish is sprinkled with saffron, and it's recommended to pair it with rice or bread on the side.
