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

Heeft u geen water gedaan??

[@LoungingwithLenny]

🤔

[@jackdaniel3203]

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

[@LoungingwithLenny]

🤔

[@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.

[@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.
