Description
Instead of saffron, you can use turmeric. You can also add chestnuts and sour plums to the pilaf. It's best to use long-grain rice (Syrian). A pot that can be placed in the oven is required.

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Soak the rice in cold salted water for 2–3 hours. The ratio is 1 tablespoon of salt per 1 liter of water.
Step 2
Cut the meat into pieces and fry in vegetable oil.
Step 3
Fry the onion separately.
Step 4
Combine the meat, onion, barberry, raisins, almonds, and dried apricots. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 5
Pour a pinch of saffron with half a cup of boiling water. Let it steep for 20 minutes, then strain.
Step 6
Melt the butter.
Step 7
Rinse the rice with plenty of water and boil in salted water until half cooked. Then drain the rice in a colander, rinse with boiling water, and let all the water drain. Pour half of the melted butter and the saffron infusion over the rice. Mix well.
Step 8
Preheat the oven to 356°F.
Step 9
Generously grease the bottom and sides of a 2.5-liter pot with melted butter.
Step 10
Lay the lavash without gaps so that the edges hang over the pot. Grease all seams of the lavash with melted butter.
Step 11
Place a layer of rice on the lavash, followed by a layer of meat with dried fruits and nuts. Alternate the layers. Finish with a layer of rice.
Step 12
Fold the hanging edges of the lavash over the rice. Brush the top of the lavash with melted butter.
Step 13
Place the pot in the oven for 1 hour.
Step 14
