This is a popular recipe thats cooked on festive occasions everywhere form the Iran to India. Basmati rice is key to this recipe for those long strands of rice that cook beautifully with each grain separate naturally. Look for Himalayan  grown basmati specifically grown in India or Pakistan, they&#8217;re the best quality. A little Saffron goes a long way in this recipe, thank god for that as saffron is quiet expensive. you&#8217;ll need about \u00bc to \u00bd teaspoon for a serving of 4. The result is a highly aromatic luxurious side dish that will elevate any simple dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large
