1. 1

   In a small cup, combine ground saffron with rose water and set aside.

2. 2

   Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the washed rice and salt, and cook uncovered for about 8 minutes until the rice is half-cooked. Drain the water.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Do not overcook the rice at this stage.
3. 3

   In the same saucepan, melt the ghee or butter over medium heat. Add the drained rice and mix well.

4. 4

   Pour the date molasses, sugar, ground cardamom, and the saffron-rose water mixture over the rice. Mix gently to combine.

5. 5

   Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke three to four holes into the rice mixture. This helps steam circulate.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Cover the rim of the pot with damp paper towels before placing the lid to create a tight seal for steaming.
6. 6

   Cover the pot tightly and cook on very low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and tender. Do not stir during this time.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Keep a close eye towards the end to prevent burning.
7. 7

   Transfer the muhammar to a serving platter. Drizzle with a little extra melted ghee or butter before serving.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Serve warm, ideally with fish dishes.
