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.


10 portions


Ready to freeze


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

That should keep you going for a day or 3. looks the biss.

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

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.

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.

Thanks, mate. Happy eating!

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?
