Saffron (King of spices)

How to use saffron?

First you have to make sure that the saffron you are buying is good quality. It should look totally red and no yellow stems mixed with it.
Persian saffron is one on the best. It gives deep red/orange color and has aroma & flavor

Never grind the saffron and store. 
Always use as you need it so the molecules break and release flavor at the time of cooking not stay in your storing container



Grind a pinch of saffron in a mortar.
Put the powder in a small dish and add a few spoon of hot water.
Leave it for a few minutes and then use.

Make a bowl of saffron rice to garnish and decorate the plain rice
