Recipe Indian Saffron Rice (Vegetarian)

Required Ingredients:

• 1/8 teaspoon powdered saffron
• 2 cups boiling water, divided
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice, not rinsed

Preparing/Cooking:

• Steep the saffron in 1/2 cup boiling water.
• In a skillet that can be tightly covered, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
• Stir in the rice and salt.
• Cook, stirring constantly, until the rice begins to absorb the butter and becomes opaque, but do not brown the rice.
• Quickly pour in the remaining 1 1/2 cups boiling water along with the saffron water.
• Cover immediately, reduce heat to low, and cook 20 minutes, or until all of the liquid is absorbed.
