Saffron rice is a very palatable Persian and Indian delicacy.
The saffron spice gives the dish a characteristics super flavour and appearance.
We recommend using freshly made broth as it gives the rice a fantastic taste as well.
Also endeavour to use very good saffron spice even though expensive, but it is worth the money.
Soak the saffron threads in a hot water for few minutes before using as this tends to bring out the flavour.
Try this recipe on your own and I bet you will get the same taste and quality similar to that of the continental Indian restaurants.
