Mahalo Chicos,

Welcome to another addition on my Healthy Indian Cooking. Today I’d like to share with you another famous side dish or accompaniment of mine. Saffron Rice. Sounds luxurious does it not?

I like to pair this Saffron Rice with most of my curries from Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia as it tastes so wonderful together.

Prep Time: less than 5 minutes 

Cook Time: about 60 minutes

Serves: up to 4 people

What you’ll need:

1. a rice cooker
2. a serving dish
3. 4 c of long grain brown or white rice
4. 6 c of vegetable broth if you do not have in hand use water
5. salt and pepper
6. 1 t of Saffron threads lightly crush and dissolved in water, reserve the water and thread for cooking.
7. 2 T Turmeric Powder

What to do:

1. wash the rice of your choice several times to ensure you’ve removed as much of the starchy white substance. Then in the same container you’ll use from the rice cooker soak the rice with the vegetable broth or water for a few minutes.
2. add reserved saffron liquid and threads into the soaking rice. mix to ensure the ingredients soak in.
3. mix the turmeric powder into the rice.
4. add a bit of salt and pepper. Turn on the rice cooker and after serve warm or room temperature.

Enjoy!

Ciao,
