Рецепт Kashmiri Saffron or Kesar Rice
Final dish on my mini Kashmiri thali is this saffron or kesar rice. Saffron flavors this simple rice dish along with some more spices. I added some turmeric to give the rice a little more color. Serve with simple rice with a spicy gravy curry.
Recipe from here:
Ingredients:
- Basmati Rice - 1cup
- Saffron or Kesar - ¼tsp

- Green Cardamom - 1
- Bay leaf - 1

- Cloves - 2
- Turmeric - ¼tsp
- Cilantro or mint leaves - 2tbsp, finely chopped

Method:
Rinse and soak rice for at least 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Heat 1tbsp and 2tsp ghee in a heavy bottom saucepan. Add shah jeera, bay leaf, cinnamon, cloves until fragrant, about 30seconds.
Add the soaked rice and cook for 2~3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Crush the saffron and add to the rice along with the turmeric. Mix well.
