In Iran, this dish is made in Isfahan with baked mutton and lung that is stewed then minced separately and then grilled in special small round shallow pans in the oven or over the fire. The burgers are generally served, with powdered cinnamon, in a local bread, usually "nan-e taftoon" but also sometimes "nan-e sangak".
In its more original form, the dish is known with the general name of "Dam Pukht/ Dan-pukhtak". The compound in Persian means "steam-cooked"—a reference to the steamed rice that forms the basis of the dish. This name is still in common use in Iran besides "biryani". In Southeast Asian countries such as Burma/Myanmar this older, general Persian term is in common use as 'danpauk'
