Cracking looking food there, SR.
Any tips on colouring the rice like that would be appreciated 
Hi Garp, the way I done this batch was to separate some rice and add colour to it then fix it in the oven on a low heat for about 15 minutes. I used powdered food colouring. The one problem with it was the grains became a little 'crispy', but it was ok once it was heated with the rest of the rice. Hope that helps. I've always had problems with this myself.
All looking lovely which recipe did you use for the mint sauce.
London.
I just used natural yogurt, Coleman's garden mint and honey, I'm sorry I don't have measurements as I add a little at a time to get it right.
