Step:

  1. Cook the rice till it is almost done. Drain and keep aside. Soak the crushed saffron, sugar and water for 20-25 minutes.

  2. Mix the rice with the saffron water and salt. Heat the butter in a pan and spread the saffron rice over it. Drizzle the rose water.

  3. Cover with a tight lid and cook on dum for 4-5 minutes on a low flame. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with chopped pistachios, almonds and rose petals.

  4. Enjoy with any grilled stuff. I served with some homemade grilled chicken.
