Ate one whole- WOW. Another chile-head managed to swallow his while avoiding the seeds. Do not know how he did it, but I wanted my seeds anyway.
- Pour 1/4 c. boiling water over the saffron and let soak for 10 min.
- Cook the rice in 2 c. salted water for 10 min, then drain.
- Heat the butter till very warm, add in the ginger, mustard seeds, cashews, and cloves and fry the mix. stirring constantly, till the seeds begin to burst. Add in the chile, lime juice, rice, and the remaining c. of boiling water and stir well. Pour the saffron water over the mix and bring to a boil, stirring once. Cover the pan tightly and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 min or possibly till the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork before serving.
- N.B. Be careful with amounts of water. I managed to use too much.
