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!
