Title: yellow sweet rice
Post by: richclever on December 23, 2006, 09:55 AM

Not a restaurant recipe request really but couldn't think where else to put it.

30yrs ago when I was just a wee lad the family were invited to a sikh wedding and as part of the 2day banquet, we were served a sweet yellow rice (not to have as a desert but with the main courses - of which there were loads).

I have tried to recreate the flavour which I can still taste to this day but never had any luck.  It was a dry rice, yellow, sweet and had some sort of spicing to it.

Anyone know what it might have been and have a recipe?

Thanks and a merry Christmas and New Year to all.

Coconut rice?

Yep KV I would go for coconut rice, probably made from creamed block coconut.  The spicy sweetness will come from Cardamoms also, and the yellow from Saffron not turmeric or colouring.  Another variation is to put sweet caramalised onions on top.

Hmm, not sure about the coconut, but it was nearly 30yrs ago!!

Got some recipes for it so will give it a go.  Definitely didn't have any onions in it though.

Thanks guys,
