Preheat oven to 350° F. Rinse rice under cold running water; drain well.
Soften saffron in hot water. Grind cloves, cardamom seeds, salt and cinnamon in a spice grinder until a fine powder.
Heat coconut oil in an oven-proof sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and grated turmeric and sauté for a few minutes. Add spices and toast for 1 more minute.
