Take a tip:
- You can use cashew, almond and raisins.
- Aromatic rice is not used in the preparation.
- Use good quality saffron. To check if saffron is a good quality, soak it in milk and observe. A genuine saffron has a tail and filament. and a small quantity of it gives a good colour to the dish.
- Alternatively, the dish can be made with a sugar syrup. Cook the rice, prepare a single thread consistency sugar syrup and mix it.
