Bring the rice to the boil with the necessary amount of water, add the saffron and simmer for about 8-10 minutes and then let it evaporate.
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic, cook the snow peas in salted water for about 1 minute, then rinse with cold water and cut lengthways into fine strips.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan, fry the onion and garlic in it. Add the drained chickpeas, rice and raisins and fry vigorously for about 5-7 minutes. Add the snow peas and pistachios to the rice, fry them and then season with salt and pepper (if necessary)
Spread the rice on plates and - if desired - put a dollop of yoghurt or sour cream on top and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
