Persian Rice With Cinnamon, Pistachios and Golden Raisins image

A very easy Persian rice recipe. I am suspecting that the curry powder called for is really advieh/baharat or a similar Persian spice mix. From the cookbook Vegetarian Planet by Didi Emmons. Only a few alterations were made with this recipe.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. I also added some chopped cilantro, which gave it a nice fresh flavor.

I'm not a fan of raisins, so I omitted them from this recipe. The rice was still very flavorful and delicious. I served it with grilled shrimp and it was a hit.
