Title: Some rice porn
Post by: RubyDoo on December 17, 2012, 03:56 PM
For what it is worth -  some rice porn from today's efforts.
Julian's pressure cooker recipe again. 10 good portions.  Only tweak this time was a star anise. Not sure it has made any difference. Will make the next batch white and mix and match as the day takes me when reheating.

I knew I would find a use for that old shirt box.

Screensaver  - pity the taste and smell does not come across.  Cool fast in fridge and the over flow fridge smells yummy for days.

Looking very good indeed, one question though, are your eggs that bad they need to be caged up?  :P

These are South ( sarf ) London eggs and are as hard as nails ( well boiled eggs ). They are caged to prevent fighting with the neighbour's eggs. If I let them out they go straight for the cutlery and all hell breaks loose. !!  ;)

I liked the look of your rice in your Madras post, but the quantity here has me reeling! :) Do you use powdered or liquid food colouring? By the vibrancy of the colours, I'm guessing powdered.

Nice one, Axe!  ;D

About 1/2 tsp yellow powder in the water used to cook the rice.
The green red and orange is also powdered but a tiny amount with a few drops of water.

My cam proper blurrs on zoom, i really need a new one, out of interest what stops you using turmeric instead of yellow colour? I'm sure 1.5 to 2 tsp would be same colour result, is it taste thingy?

Combination of experience and advice / suggestions on here that turmeric can add a bitter taste. Not totally convinced on that as 1. I have used turmeric before and 2. The amount would be very minimal to the quantity of rice.

OK mate. Never found turmeric to be bitter, not criticizing, good looking rice!

The rice does indeed look very good; I am not a fan of yellow rice, but the addition of the sparse red and green grains makes yours look very attractive indeed, as does the fact that the yellow is saturated and not washed out.  I agree with your choice of food colouring over turmeric; if the latter is not properly bhooned it can, in my experience, taste very earthy indeed.

Think I may do a batch of pure white then mix and blend as the mood takes me.
