I now live in Cali. Have tried tons of recipes online for Persian rice and yogurt sauce but it doesn't taste the same !
Anonymous wrote:Moby Dick is a Persian restaurant so the yogurt sauce is not a Greek tsatziki sauce. What I've had there is mast-o-masir, a shallot yogurt sauce, see this link. I recommend using a whole milk Greek yogurt to make it (same thing as lebni) - http://www.mypersiankitchen.com/mast-o-musir/

The yogurt sauce is shredded cucumber, dried mint, salt and pepper with plain yogurt.
You can get dried mint at saffron at middle eastern stores.
Whole milk yogurt. Critical.
