About Bat Mash
Khadijeh Nowruzi’s Hamshahri recipe presents Bat Mash as an established Balochi dish of southeastern Iran. Mung beans and Iranian rice form its base, with butter selected from the source’s cooking-fat alternatives.
Onion and turmeric give the dish a mellow savoury flavour. Garlic powder and black pepper add gentle aromatic warmth; the source also offers optional minced meat, black cumin and fresh garlic.
The finished texture falls between thick ash and soft kateh rice, with neither a watery nor dry consistency. Plain yogurt is the selected optional accompaniment.
