Iranian food sounds kind of like Northern Indian food -- basmati rice & saffron, yoghurt with stuff in it as a side dish (the Indian version I know is with cucumber and mint, and it's awfully nice and cooling with Goanese vindaloo). The dried lemons & limes I'm not familiar with, but I'll look out for them next time I go over to the International Farmers Market . . . my favorite haunt when I'm cooking Indian. Ethnic cuisine is not an everyday thing with us, I have to head out to the Farmers Market to get the unusual ingredients!

If you are ever in Houston, go to the Garcon restaurant on Hillcroft between Richmond and Westheimer. That was my favorite place to go out to eat! The north Indian cuisine does sound similar!
