This has saffron and some other nice spices with some red pepper for a little zing. This is from a cookbook in my pre-Zaar days so I'm afraid I don't know which one.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dash saffron
2 1/2 cups water
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil, and stir.
3. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and let rice stand 5 minutes.
