  3. Add the saffron in a bowl with 2 or 3 ice cubes. This way you will get the best flavor out of it.
  4. 📌📌 Good quality saffron has an end like in the picture and its water should be yellowish not orange
  5. In a pot, put the ghee with the oil and start frying the onion first for 2 to 3 minutes on high heat then add the garlic and fry until soft
  6. The rice should be ready to cook now. See how it’s so white.
  7. ⚠️ ❌ rinse the rice from salty water BUT DO NOT MIX or touch it. You don’t want to break the grains 💔
  8. Add the rice to the pot. And again don’t mix it. Just fold it over gently for a few seconds to mix it with the onion
