Dami is an Iranian one-pot rice preparation in which rice, water, and oil or butter cook together until the liquid is absorbed and the grains finish steaming in the same vessel. The term covers versions incorporating ingredients such as legumes, vegetables, herbs, onions, or dried fruit, so texture and flavor vary by recipe. It is distinguished from chelow and many polow methods, which generally involve separate boiling and steaming stages.
