Get ready to tantalize your taste buds as we bring you the exquisite flavors of Persian grilled corn, also known as Balal. Discover how the saltwater dipping creates a delightful mild salty taste, while the smoky flavor comes from the beautiful charring on the corn. We're excited to share our memories of enjoying it both in Iran and the US and guide you through our very own recipe for this mouthwatering dish. Learn how to make the perfect saltwater bath and master the grilling techniques to achieve that authentic taste that your summer barbecue has been missing! 

In this week’s Ask the Beats we explore our favorite go-to Persian dishes for our families, from a comforting yellow split pea stew Gheymeh to Beata’s easy Halim, made with rotisserie chicken and oats. Don't forget to send us your questions to be featured on a future episode!
