hi, looking at making some pilua rice for the 1st time , while looking at others ways of making the rice i was just wondering to get the different coloured grains off rice , whats the best dye to use ? bottled liquid dye or powdered dye , what would be your preferance. im not sure as im pretty new to cooking indian food and your help is appreciated, thanks db :-\
Hi db,
Either bottled or powdered is fine. If you're using powdered, you would dillute it with water anyway. Just pour a line eithe side of your rice, then let it bake off in the oven. This helps lock the dye into the rice and stops it bleeding when you give it a final mix.
Hope this helps!
