Persian Rice With Cinnamon, Pistachios and Golden Raisins image

A very easy Persian rice recipe. I am suspecting that the curry powder called for is really advieh/baharat or a similar Persian spice mix. From the cookbook Vegetarian Planet by Didi Emmons. Only a few alterations were made with this recipe.

This recipe was a bit more time-consuming than I expected, but it was worth it. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were amazing. I especially loved the crispy tahdig at the bottom of the pot.
