Albaloo polo (Persian: آلبالو پلو) is an Iranian main dish of rice and sour cherries usually served with chicken, koobideh, or other types of kebab as well as some form of stews (khoresht). In Persian, albaloo is morello cherry; polo is pilaf, a style of cooked rice.
The dish can also be served as a type of tahdig known as albaloo polow ba tahdiq maast (آلبالو پلو با ته دیگ ماست), a specialty rice dish with a hardened bottom layer.
The herbs and spices used in this variation of polo vary, but typically include advieh, and saffron.
