Rinse basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Soak the rice in water for at least 30 minutes, then drain.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in ground beef and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

Add green beans and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Mix in tomato paste, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper; cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add water to the pot and bring to a boil.

Stir in the soaked rice, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Cover the pot and reduce heat to low; cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 20-25 minutes.

Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes to steam.

Fluff the rice with a fork and mix in saffron dissolved in a tablespoon of hot water.

Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs.
