In a saucepan, saute the rice briefly in one tablespoon oil, stirring to coat each kernel. Crumble in the saffron. Add the turmeric, salt, and the hot water.

Mix in the ginger, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne. Add 1/2 cup water, the carrot and cauliflower. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the pepper, tomato, peas, raisins, chick peas, and cashews. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are barely tender. Add salt to taste. Mix vegetables with cooked riced.
