That looks very similar to a nice recipe I tried about a month ago, a
classic Iranian dish, but I believe it had cinnamon in it as well.

I used a fresh pomegranate, squeezing the seeds with a potato ricer.
I didn't get enough juice from a single pomagranate, so I added some
grenadine syrup because I couldn't find juice in the store.
