Steps

25 minutes

1

Rinse the rice and soak it for 30 minutes. Then, in a pot, cook the rice with water and a pinch of turmeric. Make sure not to overcook the rice; when it's half-cooked, drain and set aside.
2

Heat ghee in a pan. Add cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaf, and sauté for a few seconds. Add the half-cooked rice and sugar, and mix well.
3

Add saffron soaked in milk and stir continuously.
4

Mix well and keep stirring. When the ghee starts to separate from the sides, add some of the sliced almonds and pistachios, saving a few for garnish.
5

Transfer to a plate, garnish with the remaining almonds and pistachios, and serve.
