    It looks great! I make yellow rice as well with saffron. It looks very good especially when I have guests.

    I was watching a Asian Indian cooking show 3 weeks ago. They use yellow rice a lot in their side dishes, but they are big into Jasmine as part of that recipe. I LOVE yellow rice!

    I’ve often seen yellow rice made with saffron, but I’m not a real big fan of the flavor, so I like your method much better. Good idea!
