| 1. Put the crumbled up saffron into the tablespoons of warm milk and let it sit for 1-2 hours. | 2. Wash the rice well, then put it into a large bowl with about 5 cups of water and leave it to soak for 1/2 hour. Drain completely. | 3. Melt the butter over medium heat in a heavy oven-proof pot with a tight-fitting lid. (you will be placing it into the oven later on so this is important). | 4. When the butter is hot put in the pistachios and toast them lightly (they will get a kind of golden tint) this takes about a minute or two. Remove the pistachios with a slotted spoon and set aside. | 5. Now, put the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods into the same butter. Stir and fry for 1 minute. | 6. Now, put the drain rice into the butter with the cinnamon and cardamom and stir and fry for about 3 minutes. | 7. Add water, food coloring, and salt. Stir and cook until all of the water is absorbed. | 8. Now put in the saffron milk, sugar, and raisins. Mix together, cover, and place it into an oven set at 325°F for 25 minutes. | 9. When finished, place into a pretty serving bowl, or individual serving bowls (take out the cinnamon and cardamom first) and sprinkle with the pistachio nuts. | 10. Enjoy! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
