This rice pilaf/polo/pilau is aromatic as I use dill along some indian spices. You can make this rice dish with devined shrimps as well. Serve this with vinegar based pickles. I used boneless skinless dory fish fillets. I use rice cooker for this recipe.

Steps

1 hour 45 min

1

Add 3 table spoon hot water to saffron in a cup and cover until needed.
2

Clean and wash the rice until water clear. Add to rice cooker pot with 3 cups of water(less water we use compare to plain rice as mixing it with fish will soften rice grains). Add half of the turmeric and the cinnamon stick and dried dill and some canola oil. Let is stand for one hour.
3

After one hours, heat the oil in the pan. Saute onion until translucent. Add garlic along ginger and saute few more seconds. Add bay leaves, half of turmeric, cumin and corriander powder.saute until you feel the aroma. Now add fish fillets. Gently stir and cover until fish cooked through with its own water about 15 minutes.
4

When fish ready, turn on rice cooker. After about 15 minutes when rice absorbed the water, add fish and mix with rice. Close the lid and let it steam for one hour.
5

Unplug the rice cooker. With spatula take the rice and put it in large plate topped with saffron water and melted butter.
