I love watching your show because I learn a lot of recipes

[@loungingwithlenny]

Thank you. I am glad that you can learn from my video recipes

[@alirezarostami623]

As a persian I’ve never saw this recipe for rice in my entire life although that it could be delicious, the only thing that I can say is you have to grind the saffron and add hot water or ice to it instead of adding saffron to the water then stir it.

Greetings from Turkey yar!! I watched the video, I did the pilaf, it was de-licious! Thanks a lot chef!
Ps. instead of pistachios and almond, I used pine nuts, and cold-brewed the saffron, it turned out wonderful

I am cooking it now. However, you don't put any liquid in it. I feel like my rice is burning.

[@jackdaniel3203]

While my rice just came out and it was awful. Totally not cooked. Are you sure you're not supposed to put some broth in there to cook it? There is no steam to cook it.

[@loungingwithlenny]

Boil the rice until it is cooked almost all the way.

[@loungingwithlenny]

🤔

[@jackdaniel3203]

You said 6 to 8 minutes. No way is basmatti rice cooked in that time. It takes almost 40 minutes. So that was very misleading.

[@loungingwithlenny]

🤔

[@ybtl]

As a Pakistani, I can confirm basmati rice only takes like 10-15 minutes to fully cook it.
