Perde Pilaf, which has a symbolic value in the regional cuisine, is prepared by chefs in the Merkez district of Batman using its unique spice balance and plenty of partridge or rooster meat. The rice filling, placed in a special dough mold decorated with almonds, is baked in the oven until golden brown. The crispiness of the dough and the flavor of the rice create a wonderful harmony. You can check the Harita tab to find restaurants serving this dish on the map.
