Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 http://www.ethnicgrocer.com/ Festive Saffron Rice This classic Indian rice dish, made from aromatic basmati rice, is infused with the aroma of saffron and dotted with raisins and almonds. Serve with a rich meat or vegetarian curry. Ghee is clarified butter that is further cooked, imparting a nutty taste. It is commonly used for sautéing throughout India; its high smoke point allows for a buttery taste without burning.
