아제르바이잔의 왕실 쌀 요리: 사프란 향기의 바스마티가 황금 라바시 크러스트에서 구워지며, 닭, 드라이 프루트, 밤이 겹겹이 쌓인다.
사 플로브 또는 '왕의 플로브'는 아제르바이잔의 모든 플로브 변이 중 가장 정교하며, 역사적으로 왕실과 중요한 손님을 위해 예약되었다. 더 단순한 필라프와 달리, 이 버전은 전체 요리를 싸준다 - 쌀, 사프란 향기로운 버터, 부드러운 닭, 건조 살구, 건포도, 밤의 달콤하고 짭짜름한 혼합물 - 얇은 라바시 시트 내에서 구워지기 전에, 그래서 완성된 요리는 황금 돔으로 나타나 테이블사이드에서 열려 그 층들을 드러내고 사프란 향기 증기를 방출한다. 쌀 자체는 별도로 반은 익힌 후, 라바시 라이닝과 함께 층겹겹이 되며, 최종 증기-구이는 조리를 마친다. 이는 페르시아와 중앙 아시아 폴로우의 정신과 비슷하지만, 밤과 건조 과일과 사프란의 조합이 특징적으로 아제르바이잔식이다. 사 플로브를 올바르게 하는 것은 진정한 기술이 필요하다: 쌀은 반드시 불려서 정확한 도내에서 파내진다. 그래서 최종 구이 중에 마무리되며 뭉실하게 되지 않으며, 라바시 크러스트는 얇을 충분히 되어 밖에서 섬세하게 바삭해지면서 안에서 부드러울 충분히 되어 부서져 자르지 않아야 한다. 결과는, 제대로 완료되었을 때, 진정한 의식의 요리이다 - 금빛 건조 과일이 여한 사프란 쌀과 부드러운 닭에 대항해 달콤하게 되며, 라바시 크러스트에서 찢겨져 테이블에서 공유되며, 역사적으로 아제르바이잔식 결혼식과 중요한 가족 축제에 서빙되었다.

Season chicken thighs with 1 tsp salt. Heat oil in a skillet and brown chicken on both sides, then add a cup of water, cover, and simmer 25 minutes until cooked through and tender. Shred or chop into large pieces.
In a separate pan, melt 2 tbsp butter and sauté onion until soft. Add apricots, raisins, chestnuts, and cinnamon, and cook gently for 5 minutes until fragrant and slightly caramelized.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil with remaining salt. Add soaked rice and boil 6-7 minutes until about 70% cooked. Drain well.
Brush a heavy pot generously with melted butter. Lay the lavash sheets across the bottom and up the sides, overlapping so there are no gaps, with enough overhang to fold over the top later.
Spread a third of the rice over the lavash. Add half the chicken and half the fruit mixture. Repeat layering, finishing with a final layer of rice on top. Drizzle saffron water and remaining melted butter evenly over the top.
Fold the overhanging lavash over the top of the rice to fully enclose it, patching any gaps with an extra piece of lavash if needed.
Cover the pot tightly with a lid (wrap the lid in a clean kitchen towel to help seal in steam) and cook over very low heat for 35-40 minutes, or transfer to a 160°C oven for the same time.
Invert the pot carefully onto a large platter so the golden lavash crust forms the outer shell, or simply lift the crust off and serve rice and lavash on the side. Cut open at the table.

Steep the saffron in hot (not boiling) water for at least 10 minutes before using — this coaxes out its full color and aroma far better than adding the dry threads directly to the rice.
Par-boil the rice to exactly about 70% doneness; it finishes cooking during the steam-bake, and starting too soft leads to mushy plov.
Use a heavy, thick-bottomed pot to prevent the lavash crust from scorching on the bottom before the rice inside is fully cooked.
Jarred, vacuum-packed, or frozen peeled chestnuts save considerable time over roasting and peeling fresh ones, with minimal difference in the final dish.
Simpler everyday plov (adi plov) skips the lavash wrapping entirely and is simply saffron rice with meat and dried fruit served in a bowl.
Lamb can replace chicken for a richer, more traditional wedding-style version.
A meatless version for fasting periods uses only dried fruit, chestnuts, and saffron rice.
Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days; the lavash crust softens on storage but the rice reheats well covered with a splash of water in the microwave or a low oven.
Plov has deep roots across the Caucasus and Central Asia, and Azerbaijan alone has documented dozens of regional plov variations; şah plov specifically is associated with royal and aristocratic kitchens historically, its elaborate lavash-wrapped presentation and costly ingredients like saffron and chestnuts marking it as a dish for the most important occasions rather than everyday cooking.
Vacuum-packed or jarred cooked chestnuts, widely available around the winter holidays and often year-round at specialty grocers, work perfectly well and save significant prep time over roasting and peeling fresh ones.
This usually means too much liquid was in the rice layers when wrapped, or the heat during baking was too low — make sure the par-boiled rice is well drained and use a hot enough oven or stovetop heat to properly crisp the crust.
Yes — many households make an everyday version that simply layers the same saffron rice, chicken, and dried fruit in a pot without the bread crust; it's less ceremonial but just as flavorful.
It has a distinct sweet-savory balance from the dried apricots, raisins, and chestnuts against the savory chicken and rice, but it isn't a dessert-level sweet dish — the saffron and salt keep it firmly in savory territory.
