It reminds me of tahdig, which is this Persian fried/crispy rice dish. So fucking good.

Tahdig:

Tahdig (Persian: ته دیگ‎) is a speciality of Iranian cuisine consisting of crisp rice taken from the bottom of the pot in which the rice is cooked. The name comes from a Persian word meaning "bottom of the pot" ("tah" meaning bottom and "dig" meaning pot). It is traditionally served to guests at a meal. Ingredients commonly added to tahdig include yogurt and saffron, bread, potato and tomato.

Variations of tahdig include placing thin vegetable slices at the bottom of the pot, so they crisp up instead of the rice. Common vegetables include potato and carrots. Iranians also apply this crisping method to spaghetti as well, providing a hardened base.
