Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups long grain white rice
4 cups water, approximately
1/4 cup golden raisin
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/8 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon saffron (optional)
plain yogurt, for serving

Steps:

  • Wash rice well. Place 2 cups rice in a rice maker (or pot), add 4 cups water, or enough water to just cover the rice with no grains sticking out.

  • Adjust the sweetness: The amount of sugar or honey in the recipe can be adjusted to your taste. For a sweeter dish, add more sugar or honey. You can also use a combination of both.
