Saffron Rice: How To Cook Rice Perfectly 

3 likes first comment. The perfectly cooked rice and full of flavour. We cook lot of rice but I must say your recipe is better than many recipes that our people have been using. I am in love with your recipe and I am going to try making like this next time. Wish you all the best.

This looks delicious! One thing, however, saffron and turmeric are not the same thing.

Interesting technique, the grains look a bit oily to me, I would use less oil but to each his own. I guess that's why it did not stick to the pot.

This looks so good. Would you mind sharing the exact amounts used for the ingredients (e.g. onion, garlic, celery, turmeric, etc).?

Soaking ricein water for a while,together with this wash,really takes out the starch. The result is a grainy nice cooked rice.

Hi Baldawi. Thanks for this amazing rice recipe. I wanted to point out that saffron and turmeric are two different spices. So which one did you use? While they might be similar in some ways (such as their colors and bold flavors), they come from different plants. Turmeric is a root, while saffron comes from a flower. Accordingly, saffron has a lighter and more floral flavor than turmeric, which is much more bitter and earthy. Fun fact... Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world.

This is the first time I have heard this. The rule of thumb is usually rice:water is 1:2. I never heard 1:1 only for jasmine rice that requires less water. But it came out well. I knew about toasting the rice, but I don't have time for that sometimes. Great recipe, everyone needs to know the fundamentals.

Some cucumber chow with that and some pigtail and you good, good one dey Dawi

The bun-bun does be the best part!

👍👍 Together with some fresh pigeon peas, a slice of fry or stew fish, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes... mmmmmhmmmm! Ting go lash! 😃😃

I love your detailed tips.....now I know how to cook rice in a pot instead of using a rice cooker. Many many thanks.

Great video, Thanks!

Excellent tutorial 👌

So my electric pot didn't care nun bout this recipe nah. Lol I had to steam the rice twice cuz rice still hard, flavourful but hard.

Really enjoyed your video and I appreciate the tip about putting the rice before the water

I wash mine in a strainer. Gets the abrasion and the filtering.

According to my father, washing the rice also gets rid of a lot of the nutrients.

You are not cooking Saffron rice but Tumeric Rice!!

Hi hun blessing to you love where did you buy the pot and cover ?

Should we rinse Jasmine rice the same?

Looks perfect. I usually toast up my rice for cook ups but would just add enough water to cover. Glad to learn about the 1:1 ratio. Especially glad for this saffron rice recipe though. Best I’ve seen so far.

Although tumeric is used in coloring rice yellow, You are aware that tumeric is not saffron right? Soaked or fermented Saffron buds are completely different and add a completely different flavor to rice. But good content and thank you for sharing.

This looks simply delicious, I like my rice grainy but also a bit soft with a little bite to it. I hate soggy rice. Will definitely give it a try.

Looks wonderful, going to give this a try. Thank you!

Where can i find the recipe for this dish?

Thank you for sharing detailed tips. They are very helpful. One question, for the ratio when cooking rice, does it change if you are cooking parboiled rice? ~Thanks!

Hi Badawi great to gear your voice,excellent rice,what kind of rice was it parboiled. I liked your recipe will definitely try it with some grilled lamb chops 😋. Thanks for sharing 👍

Would peppers be appropriate? Finely chopped green peppers.

What's the name of the herb after ginger?

That 'bun bun' made me laugh out hard yes ... Thank you ... Looks delicious ... Will try ...

Thanks for sharing. I got some Saffron from Dubai the real deal.❤

I like my saffron rice colorful, but I like the way you cooked your saffron rice so I will follow your method when ever I am cooking a pelau it a good way to cook rice

No bun-buns!

Very nice and simple straight d forward. Thanks for sharing

Love the explanation. Never added rice before water. This is a must try. The grains were well cooked not sappy. ❤

Ok why i like this i will not use soooooo much oils just let my aromatics fry on their own

This was a great help to see how to have grainy cooked rice thank you

Tumeric is NOT Saffron, two complete different plants and Saffron is as almost expensive as gold per gram ! as a food page you should be correct in names at all times.

Mor'n. So, yuh have a kettle on the side. Does the temp of the water going in make a difference?

This is a new technique for me. I'm going to try it and hope it comes out this good 🤩

Great cooking tips! And always enjoy your voice 😊

The Okra and 🐟 is missing 😂😋👌

Hello there! Thanks ❤ appreciate your tips I will definitely keep them in mind in my next cook up dish 😋 Lol.. I remember some pumpkin an d saltfish for the pot..so so good..

👏👏👏👏👏👍👍well done uncle Badawi , love my rice the same way, looks delectable on its own 😋😋😁❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏

I've watched a lot of videos on how to make saffron rice and I think this is the best. I have two questions, what kind of rice did you use here, and what was the other green aromatic that you use besides celery? I know you said pimento with chills I believe a pepper here in the US, but there was some other leafy green thing that I didn't catch what you said besides celery. Thanks! ❤

Loved it. I learned something new and will definitely try this method. Thanks Badawi!

What grain of rice is this?

Thank you chef - best wishes for 2023🤎

PERFECT 👍

I am definitely going to use this method. Looks great as usual.

I love this

Wow

Which fresh herbs are adding towards the end?

Nice...

I wish I knew all the herbs that were used.

This was a great tutorial👌👌. Can you use basmati or jasmine rice and get the same result?

actually needed this

I have never heard about washing the starch out thr rice with so many washes

TUMERIC and SAFFRON are two different spices, you call your self a cook?
