Cooking class experience — learning Tahdig properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Tahdig correctly. The instructor explained why dried limes is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The subtly bitter and complex result when you make it yourself is different.

the sofreh spread on the floor is the traditional Iranian dining setting. We learned how a traditional Iranian home dinner shapes the way this dish is eaten. The class ended with the meal and a glass of fresh pomegranate juice. I've made it three times since and each time it improves. Highly recommend the cooking class approach.
