Sabzi Polo Ba Mahi Part: I (Persian Herbed Rice with Fish) سبزی پلو با ماهی

Sabzi means herb and polo is rice. Sabzi polo is rice containing a combination of herbs. And it is usually cooked with long grain basmati rice. Traditionally, Sabzi polo (rice with herbs) is cooked with fresh dill, chives, parsley, cilantro, fenugreek, and young garlic.
You can pair this herbed rice dish with any Iranian stews or kukus; however, it pairs well with fish, or mahi in Farsi.
Having Sabazi polo ba mahi is tradition for Norouz which is Persian new year and is celebrated with the arrival of spring. Nowruz has been celebrated in Iran since the time of Zoroaster ‘'Zartosht'' and beside Iran, this ancient ceremony is celebrated in several other countries that used to be part of the old Persian Empire on the day of the Spring equinox which is welcoming to spring and saying goodbye to winter. Fish is a symbol of life and sabzi (herbs) is a symbol of prosperity and birth and that’s why when starting the new year Iranian’s eat this delicious meal to begin the new year with good charm.
