Polo, Persian Pilaf (ペルシャ風炊き込みご飯)

Do you know what is Polo ? Polo I'm talking about here is not a type of sport, but rice dish usually served with Kebab in Persian culture. The one I had first time at my favorite Persian restaurant contained almond and various kinds of dry fruits, and it goes perfectly well with spicy and savory meat such as Kebab..
I came up with the idea of making my own polo today for a potluck at my vegetarian friends' place.
I added saffron dried raisin, and butter to half Indian Basmati rice and half Japanese rice, and cook it with rice cooker. When the rice is cooked, I added salt/pepper and sliced almond.
It is very easy, and looks fancy dish.
