Saffron Sweet Rice Recipe

Rice Seasoned With Saffron And Sweetened With Sugar

In a saucepan, combine:

3 1/2 cups water

2 cups uncooked basmati rice

Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes, until the water is absorbed.

In a bowl, mix:

the cooked basmati rice (about 4 cups)

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1/4 teaspoon crushed saffron

In a saucepan, melt:

4 teaspoons ghee

Add to the saucepan and sauté:

2 cinnamon sticks, crushed or broken into 2-4 pieces

8-10 whole cloves

8-10 whole green cardamoms, or 1 teaspoon cardamom powder

8-10 whole black peppercorns

When spice mixture "pops," add the rice mixture. Cover and sauté until warmed through.

You may remove the whole spices before serving, or not; just advise your family or guests to avoid eating them.
