Ah, interesting.  These days I use saffron if I want yellow rice (I far prefer the flavour of saffron to that of turmeric), but far more often I now go for the multicolour approach :

Looks very nice, SP, but may I ask whether you use turmeric to colour the rice, and if so, are you able to taste the turmeric in it ?  I ask because I avoid using turmeric in rice for that very reason.

Quote from: JerryM on October 28, 2010, 06:01 PMwould like to get the cardamom flavour more into the dish. the intense taste from crunching one in the dish is for me - to die for. in the midlands. at least now it's on my radar.

Yes !  I think that the first few times one bites into a cardamom in an Indian restaurant, the sensation is out of this world : I used to describe it as "exploding in a ball of flavour", and I can still recollect to this day (from 45 years ago) what an amazing sensation that was.  Sadly one gets inured to it, as with all good things, and although of course I still cook with them it is far too long since I had a real "cardamom moment"

Very interesting, Ifindforu : thank you !

I think we should demonstrate our collective maturity and undertake the moderation ourselves, without needing to appoint a nanny.

Quote from: chriswg on September 07, 2010, 10:07 AMAfter 30 mins I wash all the salt off them.

This part surprises me : are you not concerned that, by washing them, you are washing away blood, and hence washing away flavour ?
