When you go no time on hand and you want to whip up some easy rice dishes for your spicy and rich sidedishes, this is the answer. It is so easy to make but very very exotic. Perfect for parties as well. People wont find how easy it is to make when you say the name. Because this rice is made with the exotic spice saffron.

You can check out kashmir online store if you are looking for the best saffrons. You could easily add any fried nuts in this pulao which is also available in the store.

I used seeraga samba rice..basmati rice would be great..
I soaked it for 30 mins

 

Drain it

 

I took saffron in a bowl

 

added some milk to it

 

soaked it for a while so the colour just infuses
These are the whole spices which i am using

 

Start by heating some ghee in a pressure cooker

 

Add in the whole spices and let them sizzle

 

Add in rice

 

saute them for 5 mins or so

 

This toasting helps the rice gets little toasty and fragrant

 

Add in water

 

along with some salt

 

Mix well

 

Bring this to a boil

 

Cover and pressure cook till the rice is done
When the rice is cooking..heat little oil in a pan

 

add in onions

 

saute them

 

they will start to get little colour

 

now it has darkened

 

Look how golden it has got

 

this is the colour which i need

 

i transfered it to a plate

 

Now i added it to the cooked rice

 

poured in the saffron milk

 

mixed well
