Preparation
1. Soak the saffron with 1/2 cup of boiling water for at least 30 minutes.
2. Fill the pot with water about 3/4 the height of the pot.
3. When the water is boiling add the salt and rice, cook the rice for about 8 minutes and strain. Occasionally mix to prevent lumps.
4. Transfer about 2 cups of rice to a bowl and 1/4 cup of water with saffron and mix (mix the remaining quarter with a tablespoon of oil).
