BASMATI RICE WITH FRIED CASHEWS AND RAISINS
This recipe was inspired by a New Year's Day feast I was invited to starring a huge chicken biryani. I helped the host with the final touches of the meal, including frying some nuts and raisins as a topping. I loved the flavor and texture they brought to the meal. While this recipe is certainly not biryani, the toasted toppings mixed into a lightly spiced rice, takes me back to that special day.

SAFFRON RICE WITH CASHEWS AND RAISINS
This rice is Indian inspired and so the recipe calls for traditional basmati, but Texmati rice will give much the same effect, and in fact any white rice is good made this way. Substitute almonds for the cashews if you prefer.

SAFFRON RICE WITH CASHEWS
The original recipe called for chopped pistachio nuts, but when my mom was teaching me to cook, she only had cashews. I was never a cashew fan until I tasted this dish. The cashews become rather soft and separate into halves. The whole dish has an aromatic and softly sweet flavor. I've used cashews ever since, not even bothering with pistachios!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your saffron rice will taste. Look for fresh, fragrant saffron, long-grain basmati rice, and plump, juicy raisins.
- Toast the rice before cooking it. This helps to bring out the flavor of the rice and gives it a slightly nutty taste.
- Use a generous amount of saffron. Saffron is a delicate spice, so you need to use enough of it to get the full flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1/4 teaspoon of saffron threads for every cup of rice.
- Let the rice rest before serving. This allows the rice to absorb all of the flavorful cooking liquid and results in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Garnish the rice with nuts, raisins, and herbs before serving. This adds a pop of color, flavor, and texture to the dish.
Conclusion:
Saffron rice with cashews and raisins is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can also be served as a main course or side dish. The combination of saffron, cashews, and raisins gives this dish a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone at the table.
