About Our Saffron Rice

Saffron Rice is one of the most luxurious and aromatic rice dishes in Indian cuisine, and at Royal India Express, we prepare it with the utmost care and authentic methods. Our recipe begins with premium basmati rice, known for its long, fragrant grains, which we carefully wash and soak to achieve the perfect texture. The star ingredient, premium saffron threads, are soaked in warm water to release their golden color and distinctive aroma.

We cook our Saffron Rice using the traditional method with ghee, whole spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and bay leaves, along with finely chopped onions and ginger-garlic paste. The rice is then cooked with the saffron-infused water, creating a beautiful golden hue and an irresistible fragrance. This dish is a perfect accompaniment to any Indian curry and showcases the rich, luxurious flavors of authentic Indian cuisine.
