1-wash the rice in the water 2 times .Then pour 2 1/2 cups of cold water in the rice and add salt in it and let it cook in the pan on the oven by 4 degree or cook your rice by electric rice cooker.
2-Don't forget that you have to add butter or vegetable oil in your rice and then let the rice cook completely.
3-Wash the lentil well and let it cook by water in the pan.Your lentils must not be mashed during the process.They must keep their shapes nicely.
4-After cooking the lentils add them to the rice .Just let them stay on top of the rice and then add cinnamon on them .Take the lid back on the rice again
5-Fry the red dried grapes in the vegetable oil for a 30 seconds up to 1 minutes,then add them to the mixture.Right now your dish is ready to eat.Just mix them and serve.
Anyway my dear jaleesa you could eat it with salad or pickle and even yogurt.its based on your taste.If you like to eat meat more by yourself, you could fry the grind meat with onion and add to your mixture or use of safran on your rice.Never forget that if you wanna fry your meat and use it in any kind of dishes, always use of black pepper ,turmeric and onion.Why? because they would get the bad smell of the meat and make it spicy with good aroma !.However pakistani or Indian people use of spices in their foods alot ,but persians use of spices not more and not less and use of them in logical way.In the end ,just enjoy.
