Step 1

Pour the rice into a medium-sized pot.

Step 2

Fill up the pot halfway and rinse the water. Discard the water.

Step 3

Repeat this step 2-3 times to rinse the rice unit the water becomes clear. Again, discard the water.

Step 4

Add the 4 cups of water, vegetable oil and salt.

Step 5

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat.

Step 6

Allow the water to continue to boil until it has been absorbed by the rice and you no longer see any water over top of the rice (roughly 5 minutes).

Step 7

Turn the heat down to low and cover the rice.

Step 8

Cook for 30-40 minutes.

Step 9

Create a saffron-infused garnish: Grind a pinch of saffron using a mortar and pestle. If you don't have one of those, just grind it in a small bowl using the back of a small spoon. Next, add a 1 tsp. of hot water and mix evenly. Take 1/2 cup of the cooked rice and add it in. Mix well until rice is fully combined and becomes a beautiful yellow colour.
