Saffron Rice With Cashews and Raisins image

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.

This saffron rice is a great way to use up leftover rice. I had some leftover jasmine rice, and it worked perfectly in this recipe. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the cashews and raisins added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch.

This saffron rice is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before, and it was just as good the next day. The flavors had really melded together, and the rice was still fluffy and flavorful.
