But for me, a pulao rice needs to have more colour differentiation between the grains -- the white grains (the majority) should be a clear, clean, white, whilst the coloured grains should be few in number and saturated [1]. In your rice, the grains seems to be a sort of uniform creamy yellow, which I don't personally find appealing or appetising. But that's just me : I am sure that many will be more than happy to enthuse about its presentation.
Interesting point, Phil, and not one that I would necessarily disagree with.
Your are totally correct that the grains in mine are "sort of uniform creamy yellow" since I deliberately made them so. The reason for this is that the rice was left over from a large dish of Chicken Biriani I cooked for a large group of people, which included none curry eating Aussies! And, from experience, I know that Aussies (and even many British expats!) tend to shy away from highly coloured rice (even though, like you, I personally prefer it that way).
Quote from: PaulPWhat is your verdict on the CBM Little India base?
Hi Paul. I thought it would probably be more appropriate to reply to this in CBM's Little India Base Video thread here:
https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=8242.msg74395#msg74395Suffice to say, here, is that I think the base (and spice mix) is up there with the very best that I have tried on the forum.
