Jewelled Pilau Rice

This delicious rice dish originates from Iran, and joins together sweet components like dried fruit and nuts with savoury rice, chicken and veg. It makes a stunning centrepiece for a Curry Legend feast, with the 'jewels' of the pomegranate seeds adding a fantastic pop of colour to the top, but the real star of the show is the a spectacular, crunchy 'tahdig' crust that is revealed when the dish gets inverted at the end!
