Ingredients for each person:
Iranian rice: 1 cup
Salt: ¼ teaspoon
Butter: 50 grams
Liquid oil: 1 tablespoon
Brewed saffron: 2 tablespoons thick
Instructions for Molded Saffron Rice:
Step 1:
To prepare saffron molded rice, first soak the rice along with some salt for 2 to 3 hours. Then, place the rice in a suitable pot and add enough water to cover the rice by about one finger's width.
Step 2:
Next, add salt and oil, and place the pot over heat until the water boils and is completely absorbed. A key point when making saffron rice is to use a non-stick single-serving pot.
Step 3:
Once the water in the pot evaporates, remove the rice from the pot. Then, mix one-third of the rice with butter and brewed saffron inside the pot using a spoon until they are fully combined.
Step 4:
In this step, press the saffron rice mixture into the bottom of the pot with the back of the spoon so it sets. Then, add the remaining rice to the pot, pressing the plain rice with the back of the spoon so it is evenly compacted and molded.
Step 5:
Now, place the pot on low heat and cook for 45 minutes to an hour. Then, place a plate on the lid of the pot and flip the pot onto the plate, so the rice is served as a molded shape.
Step 6:
An important point regarding the ingredients for molded rice is that if you are making this rice for a larger number of people, you do not need to multiply the butter and brewed saffron by the number of servings. A smaller amount of butter and saffron is enough.
