Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water for 2-3 minutes until the water runs clear. Set it aside.
- Parboil the rinsed rice in boiling water for 5-7 minutes, then strain and cool.

- Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes
Saffron quality matters for flavor. Rinse rice thoroughly to avoid gumminess. Customization of crust can be done with extra oil for crunchiness.
