Pure Spanish saffron, kesar, comes as fine deep-red threads. It brings fragrance and the characteristic golden colour to rice dishes, broths and desserts.
How to use it. Steep a few threads in warm liquid for several minutes, then add them towards the end of cooking. A small amount is enough to scent a family recipe.
Best for. Paella, biryani, rice pudding and sauces where the aroma of kesar should be present without taking over the dish.
Kesar in a 2 g format. Available with delivery to Spain and Portugal. Check the manufacturer’s information for storage or care, and add other Indian cooking essentials to the same online order.
