Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice in cold water, then soak it for 30 minutes in salted water.
  2. Boil the drained rice in salted water for about 7 minutes, until it is partly cooked, then drain it.
  3. Brown the sliced potatoes and sliced onion in oil until golden, then set aside.
  4. Melt the butter in a pot, arrange the potatoes and onion on the bottom, then add the rice in layers.
  5. Dissolve the saffron in a little warm water and pour it over the rice with the turmeric.
  6. Cover tightly and cook over very low heat for 35 minutes, then unmold by flipping the pot to reveal the golden crust.

Variations and tips

Yogurt version. Mix a spoonful of yogurt with a little rice and spread it on the bottom of the pot for an even crispier crust.
