I am a dish often associated with celebrations, characterized by layers of rice, meat or vegetables, and aromatic spices. I am cooked in a sealed pot, allowing flavors to meld together beautifully.

1. My name might be derived from a Persian word.
2. I often contain saffron, which gives me a yellow hue.
3. I am cooked using the 'dum' method.
4. I am frequently garnished with fried onions and fresh cilantro.
