Gilani Persian Aloo Mosamma 🍑🍗

Aloo Mosamma is a traditional dish from Gilan, made with tender chicken, dried plums, dried apricots, onion, and saffron. The combination of tart dried plums and sweet apricots gives this stew its distinctive sweet-and-sour flavor.

It is a simple, comforting Persian dish with very little sauce, traditionally served with Persian rice, either Kateh or Abkesh.

If you enjoy Persian dishes with a delicious sweet-and-sour balance, this one is definitely worth trying. ❤️

    When most of the liquid has reduced, taste the stew. If needed, gradually add a little sugar to balance the flavor. This stew should have very little liquid when finished.

    Serving:
    Aloo Mosamma is traditionally served with Persian rice, either Kateh (Persian one-pot rice) or Abkesh (Persian steamed rice).

Tips

Aloo Bukhara (dried plums) is traditionally used in this dish, but other types of dried plums can also be used. Choose a variety with a pleasantly tart or mildly sweet flavor for the best balance.
