Answers:
It's probably advieh, which is a spice mix sprinkled over rice (though some variations are also used in cooking stews and as meat rubs)!. "Although its specific composition varies from the Persian Gulf to the Caspian Sea, common ingredients include cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, rose petals or rose buds, cumin, and ginger!. It may also include ground angelica, saffron, nutmeg, black pepper, mace, coriander, or sesame" (from wikipedia)Www@FoodAQ@Com
