Steps:
- In a medium-sized bowl soak rice with water.
- Gently wash the rice by stirring the rice in the water with your hand. This helps wash some of the starch and grit out. Pour out the water and repeat two more times.
- After washing the rice a third time, rinse and then cover rice with water and add 1 TBS salt.
- In a small bowl combine crushed saffron with 1 TBS hot water and set aside.
- In a 5-quart non-stick pot add 8 cups of water and 1 TBS salt and bring to boil.
- When the water has come to boil, pour out the water in the bowl containing the soaking rice. Add the wet rice to the boiling water.
- When the water comes to boil again and the rice floats to the top of the pot (approx. 6 mins), pour the contents of the pot into a fine colander. You know your rice is ready to strain if you bite a rice kernel and the center is still uncooked.
- Return the pot to the burner, set heat to medium and add 1 1/2 TBS oil.
- If using coriander seeds, sprinkle them on the bottom of the pot, and arrange potato slices over them.
- Using a spatula, gently scoop the drained rice into the pot. Make sure you do not push the rice in together as this will result in mushy rice. Scatter the rice throughout the pot, in a pyramid shape until finished. Your pot should not be filled to the top. You will need about 3 inches between the top of your rice and the top of the pot. If you must tap the rice off of your spatula, do not tap it against the pot. This will move the rice in the pot and press them together. Tap your spatula against the colander.
- Using the handle of a long wooden spoon or another utensil, gently press several holes around the rice down to the potato crust. This will allow the steam to travel freely through the pot. Pour the saffron mixture over the top of the rice.
- Drizzle over the rice with 1 TBS oil. You can also cut 2 TBS butter into small pieces and dot along the top of the rice.
- Pour the saffron water on top of the rice. When you serve the rice, the white and yellow rice will be mixed together. NOTE: If you want all of the saffron rice on top of the white rice when you serve, do not pour the saffron water now. Save it until you are ready to serve. Scoop out about 1 cup of cooked rice and place in a bowl, pour in saffron water and mix until all yellow. Transfer rest of white rice onto serving platter and pour yellow saffron rice over it (as pictured)
- Cover the lid of your pot with a clean towel or several paper towels, and set firmly over your pot to prevent steam from escaping. The towel will keep the condensation from dropping back into your rice and turning the rice into mush.
- After 7 minutes, lower the heat to low and let the rice finish cooking for another 45 mins. You will know your rice is done because it has fluffed up. Another trick to see if your rice is down is to lick your finger and quickly touch your wet finger against the side of the hot pot. If you hear a sizzle sound, your rice is done (and hopefully your finger isn't burned!).
- To serve, you can place a large round platter over the top of the pot, then carefully invert the pot and remove gently. This will create a cake-effect, with the potato crust showing on top. Or, you can use a spatula to gently remove the rice and scatter on your serving platter, creating a pyramid-effect, placing the crunchy potatoes on top or surrounding the rice.

PERSIAN RICE
I believe I've posted a few fool-proof methods for cooking perfect rice, but this Persian version takes the grand prize, and it's not even close for second. The beauty of this method is that it doesn't rely on any specific measurements, or even exact times. This will make some of you very nervous, but just go with it.

IRANIAN YELLOW RICE WITH SAFFRON
This sunny-hued rice gets its color from saffron. Saffron is an expensive spice, but when used properly, a little goes a long way. It lends a unique bright flavor and sweet earthy aroma. Topped with fried onions and raisins, this simple and fast side dish has a distinct Middle Eastern flair and pairs well with stews and kabobs.

Steps:
- For the rice: Sprinkle the saffron on the ice cubes in a small bowl and let sit at room temperature until the ice is completely melted, about 1 hour. This is your bloomed saffron.
- Meanwhile, rinse the rice a few times until the water runs clean.
- Melt the butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add half the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and 1 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Add 3 1/4 cups water and the bloomed saffron, then turn the heat to medium high.
- Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower the heat to medium. Cover the pan and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- For the topping: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add the raisins and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed and slightly softened, about 2 minutes (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
- When the rice is ready, remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes so it can finish steaming. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a serving plate. Top with the onion and raisin mixture and serve.
