Preparation steps
Put rice in a colander and rinse with cold water. Place in a bowl, cover with water and soak for 30 minutes. Drain in a colander. Dissolve saffron in a bowl with 4 tablespoons of boiling water. Heat 4 tablespoons of butter in a large pot. Put cinnamon, cardamom pods, cloves and bay leaves into it and saute for 2 minutes on medium heat. Add currants and saute, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add saffron, almonds, and sugar and mix well. Season with salt. Add 3/4 liters (approximately 3,5 cups) of water and rice and bring to a boil. Cover and cook on very low heat for about 20 minutes until rice is tender and all liquid has absorbed. Remove bay leaf, cardamom and cloves. Season to taste.
