  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

Instructions:

Wash the rice and soak it in water for 30 minutes. Drain the water and set the rice aside.

In a pan, heat ghee or oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

In a small bowl, soak saffron strands in warm milk for a few minutes.

Drizzle the saffron milk over the rice and vegetables. Cover the pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes.
