Spiced rice or what we call it in #Azerbaijani language (advieh pilaf) is a classic Azerbaijani dish in#Iran. Spice is called ‘ Advieh’ in Persian language. This is a rice dish made with mixed spices. This mixed spices is not that crazy hot and spicy but mild and full of flavour. Spiced rice is served with chicken cooked in red sauce made with fried onion, tomato paste- #Persian saffron water and lime/lemon juice.
This spiced rice with chicken dish is such an aromatic and delicious meal that would satisfied you.

If you live in Iran, you can get easily mixed spices for rice dishes from Grand Bazaar or spice shops and stores but do not worry you can prepare it at home, as I did.

It is a mixture of different spices with different amount of each one, but no worries :) i will tell you how to prepare this mixed spices as follow: 3tbsp dried rose petals, ½ nutmeg, 10 cardamom, 1tsp Persian saffron, ۲ cinnamon sticks, ۱ tsp ginger, 1tsp coriander seeds, ½ tsp pepper seeds, 1 tsp clove, 1tsp cumin.
In order to grind your spices , you can go traditional way, and use mortar and pestle or use electric spice grinder.
After grinding the spices, you should store them and because spices do not like light, air or humidity and heat, is better store them in a jar that is airtight.

If you live in Iran, you can get easily mixed spices for rice dishes from Grand Bazaar or spice shops and stores but do not worry you can prepare it at home, as I did.
