Indian Saffron Rice recipe
This simple side dish is a brilliant accompaniment to most Indian dishes. Indian saffron has a distinctive flavour so try to use this instead of Spanish if you can.
Ingredients:
- 500ml boiling water
- 200g basmati rice
- 1/8 tsp. saffron or powdered saffron
- 25g butter
- Pinch salt
Method of Preparation:
-
Steep the saffron in 125ml of water.
-
Melt the butter, then add the rice and salt. Cook for 2-5 minutes, until the rice starts to turn opaque at the edges.
-
Do not brown the rice. Add the rest of the boiling water and the saffron water. Cover, then simmer on a low heat for 20 minutes.
