Rural Life in Iran | Amazing Mandarin Jam and Traditional Istanbul-Style Rice

Welcome to another day of authentic rural life in Iran, filled with household chores, traditional cooking, and homemade food! 🌿🏡 Join me as I clean the house and balcony, prepare a delicious chicken and fresh green bean Istanbul-style rice dish, and make a unique homemade mandarin jam. I begin the morning by cleaning the house and sweeping the balcony. After finishing my household chores, I wash the dishes and prepare the ingredients for lunch. Today's meal is a comforting homemade rice dish with chicken breast and fresh green beans, prepared with simple ingredients and traditional cooking methods. First, I wash the chicken and cut the breast into small pieces. Then I finely chop the washed green beans. I fry onions until golden, sauté the chicken, and add the green beans. A little tomato paste and aromatic spices bring everything together into a rich, flavorful sauce. Once the sauce is ready, I parboil and drain the rice, place it in the pot, and add the chicken and green bean mixture. I cover the pot and let the rice steam slowly until the flavors blend together and the meal is ready to serve. 🍚 But the day's cooking doesn't end with lunch! I also prepare a special homemade mandarin jam. I wash the mandarins, peel them, and carefully clean them before placing them over the fire. I add sugar, rosewater, and a little vanilla, then let the mixture simmer until it thickens and develops a wonderful citrus aroma. The result is a delicious homemade jam with a unique flavor and fragrance. 🍊 While the jam cooks, I hand-wash the dirty clothes using laundry detergent powder and hang them out to dry. Then I head to the garden to pick fresh herbs to serve with our meal. When the mandarin jam is ready, I pour it into a clean jar. Finally, I serve the chicken and green bean rice with yogurt and fresh garden herbs, enjoying a simple, satisfying homemade lunch as part of everyday rural life. ❤️ If you enjoy rural and nomadic life in Iran, daily village routines, traditional Iranian cooking, homemade meals, chicken and green bean rice, fresh garden produce, homemade mandarin jam, cooking over a fire, and a simple countryside lifestyle, watch until the end of the video. 💚 If you enjoyed this video, please give it a like and subscribe to the channel for more authentic rural life, traditional recipes, and everyday village moments.
