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 4 g format. Delivery to Spain and Portugal is available for this pack. Read the brand guidance on storage or use, then complete your order with more Indian cooking ingredients as needed.
