A simple, warm and comforting Persian breakfast porridge topped with cinnamon and sugar. It’s just way too good.
In a pot over medium heat add butter and allow it to melt. Right after it melts add the flour and mix to combine. If the flour is still powdery after mixing it into the butter, add a bit more butter. Mix and keep mixing until it changes color (about 10 minutes). Add 2-3 cups of water and mix well, getting most of the lumps out. Once the lumps are mostly gone, add the rest of the water and stir. Add turmeric and stir. Turn to low heat, sprinkle the sugar on top and do not mix it in. Place lid on the pot and leave it for 10-15 minutes. Then remove from heat and serve with sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top.
Note: If you like a kaachi tahdig (a crispy layer of kaachi at the bottom of the pot) to eat alongside the kaachi it takes one extra step. Make the crispy tahdig by turning up the heat to medium at the end of the cook time. Heat for about 10 minutes. Then using a spatula you can carefully remove the soft tahdig from the top and then remove the crispy tahdig at the bottom of the pot.

Hi! Sorry I missed this comment! I recommend just plain all-purpose flour
