Directions
Saffron Rice With Cashews,The original recipe called for chopped pistachio nuts, but when my mom was teaching me to cook, she only had cashews. I was never a cashew fan until I tasted this dish. The cashews become rather soft and separate into halves. The whole dish has an aromatic and softly sweet flavor. I’ve used cashews ever since, not even bothering with pistachios!,Made it the first time with pistachios since I didn’t have cashews. Second time change the recipe for 6 servings and used cashews…MUCH better!! Didn’t use currents either time and used basmati rice. Since you have to rinse basmati rice I think that made it turn out a little sticky, but we don’t mind that since we put saucy Indian dishes over it anyway. This will be our rice for all our Indian dishes! Thanks!,I also used turmeric and it produced a rich color. Since I like more savory flavors, used less sugar and added cumin and chile powder. It was very tasty and reminded me of a Burmese rice dish that a friend of mine made. I think next time I will add green onions and garlic.
