Cooking this in the oven produced a wonderful dish, I did some amount adjustments and used a 14-ounce can diced drained tomatoes in place of the fresh tomato as I did not have one at the time, I also added in 2 good teaspoonfuls of chili flakes and used chicken broth, I used white converted rice for this, thanks for sharing Nasseh, this was great!

This is a wonderful dish and as pretty to look at as it is delicious! I used saffron-flavored rice instead of regular rice and pulverized saffron; I also left out the onion. This dish cooked perfectly in the 40 minute time and smelled so good as it cooked. All in all a great dish - thanks for sharing this recipe!
