HOW LONG SHOULD I SOAK RICE?
I generally soak rice for about 10 minutes. Adjust the soaking time according to the variety of rice you use. Soaking in hot water helps For quick version
CAN I COOK orange zafrani PULAO IN THE instant pot?
Skip soaking. Close the IP with the valve in the sealing position and cook in manual mode for 4 minutes. Do Natural pressure release
CAN I COOK orange SAFFRON PULAO IN OIL?
Yes, using Ghee is optional but it gives a good flavor to the pulav. You can use oil for cooking and add a few drops of ghee for aroma. you can also use Vegan butter for vegan Zarda pulao
Will, it taste sweet?
Though we add raisins pulao won't taste sweet. For a sweet tooth, you can increase sugar.
Can I add onion/ garlic?
Yes, you can saute and add onion/garlic.
Can I add coconut?
Yes, can saute coconut/ dry coconut and prepare Zafrani pulao.
Orange juice
Freshly squeezed no-pulp orange juice tastes best. If you are using store-bought juice, make sure you use no added sugar, no pulp juice without preservatives
