Instructions:

Bring the water and 2 tsp. salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Now add the long grain rice and bring to a boil again. Cook the saucepan for 15 min. at low temperature. In the meantime, melt the saffron in a little bit of warm milk. Heat the ghee in another saucepan and stir-fry the ground spices. After a few seconds add the potato cubes and stir for 5 minutes until lightly browned. Now add the peas, tomatoes, half of the coriander leaves and the remaining salt. Cover and steam the vegetables until soft. Stir occasionally, adding a little water if necessary to prevent the vegetables from burning. By now, the long-grain rice should be cooked. Mix in the yogurt, rose water and saffron milk. Gently mix the long grain rice with a fork and stand t minutes. Grease a dish and cover the bottom with half of the rice. Press the long grain rice firmly on the bottom. Now spread the vegetables evenly on the long grain rice. Then place the remaining long-grain rice on top. Gently press everything together and cover the dish with aluminum foil. Heat the stove to 140 degrees and bake the long-grain rice for 15-20 minutes. Then cut the long-grain rice into ready-to-serve portions and lift out with a spatula.

Garnish each unit with chopped nuts and coriander leaves. Bring to the table hot.
