Saffron-y yumminess! I cut the recipe in half but used approximately the same amount of spices. Was out of my homemade ghee! Also used fresh vegetable stock. Hubby and I really enjoyed this. Thanks for posting!

This was nicely flavored rice. I used chicken broth and butter, both of which already had salt added. I halved the amount of salt to try to compensate but the rice turned out slightly too salty for our taste. I would suggest that if you use chicken broth that is already salted and salted butter in this recipe, you may want to use 1/4 of the amount of salt or omit it altogether.

Fantastic! This was the first time I had ever used Saffron and at 20 bucks a packet I was a little intimidated. Your recipe was easy to follow and produced the most incredible smell, even before I added the saffron. Note here; I used a good pinch of saffron powder instead of threads (couldn't find any.) Great recipe Rita L!!

Rita - this is simply the best rice I have ever had the pleasure of cooking / eating! It was so easy and the rice was perfect, seperate grains and the flavours are delicious but not over - powering. I did omitt the salt - but that a personal preference. thanks

We had this with Madagascar chicken curry #343890 by Celticevergreen for our new year dinner we wanted a change from the traditional steak pie that we alway's have and we were not disappointed it was very good the two went very well together. I also made mine in my rice cooker. I didn't have any ghee so I followed your recipe for that too, the cardamon comes over very strong but we liked that we will have this again makes such a nice change from just plain basmati rice thank you for a great recipe. Sorry there is no picture we were too much of a hurry to eat.

The taste of this rice was phenomenal. My husband wouldn't stop raving about it! For some reason it didn't cook enough in the time indicated so I'll just have to try it again!

This was easy to make and a great flavor. I make my own broth (which I don't salt) and I never buy salted butter so I didn't have to worry about the amount of salt. And I used ghee that I had just made earlier that day.
