In Indonesia, turmeric rice is usually cooked with coconut milk and pandan leaves.
Also, we don't use that much turmeric for that little amount of rice. Turmeric is just for colouring. It'll taste bitter if you put it too much.

High heat for ten mins gives you a lovely lush burnt and stuck to the pan pain in the arse mess. cheers.

"A teaspoon of turmeric."  - Puts in a heaped tablespoon

Hi Jamie,
I am indian(south indian). Rice is very important in our daily meal. But we always wash the rice before put in a boiling water.
And also we use turmeric in almost all the dishes we make, small pinch of turmeric is enough for the dishes.
One tablespoon of turmeric is not good.

Hi Jamie!

In Iran we infuse the saffron separately with a little bit of boiling water and let it infuse, like a Persian tea on indirect heat, covered, and then when it's still quite warm, we add a cube of ice in it to give it a shock which will release 2 times more color and flavor for the same amount that you are using in this video,

And we always grind our saffron in tiny tiny pestle and mortars right before using it,

and if you have good Iranian saffron it'll give you the maximum flavor even if you add it at the last second after cooking the rice, and that's why our saffron infused rice is more powerful on the color and flavor compared to for example Spanish ones like in Paella.

love your style:)

DO NOT use 10 cloves . I used 9 and my rice came out practically disgusting, it was completely bitter. In addition, I couldn't taste any cinnamon at all. It was completely plain yellow bitter rice. Thankfully for me, my dad saved the day with stir frying it with dark soy sauce, spring onion, lime juice, garlic oyster sauce and fish sauce 😒👌👍.

"a little pinch of saffron". Proceeds to throw in a whole container's worth.

That's about $500 worth of saffron.

Thanks for the recipe Jaime! I live in Singapore. I have never dared go use ghe stove to cook rice as I once badly burnt the pot. I have always used the rice cooker. Most people here in singapore prefer the Thai jasmine rice (which is shorter grainan d stickier) but I prefer basmati rice as it has a lower GI value. I just tried your method to cook my basmato rice today! It really took only 9 min for the rice to be perfectly cooked! The bottom part was a little brown but not burnt!

I like sautéing the rice in a frying pan and some olive oil first before putting them into the pot with the water. It just seams to bring out that nutty flavor a little more and makes the rice even more perfect. Try if haven't before, fantastic!

How much did you get paid for this Uncle Bens advert Jamie?

[himful]

Amazing! I am just treading water with Basmati rice -I have never cooked it before but love the taste when I eat out. My husband thought I should try it and I found food tube.
I feel more confident so I am going to try this now.
Thanks  Jamie you make it so easy.
 Do you teach maths ?
 Your pots look expensive !
Please can you inform me where can I buy  durable but affordable ones?
I have just subscribed  and I am so excited about cooking new things and using new methods to improve my old ways .
 You are a gem  in this generation !
God bless you and your family!

Thanks for the recipe but that was way too much turmeric for rice. That would render the rice bitter and inedible. We add a pinch or two (a quarter or half of a teaspoon) of turmeric powder in everyday cooking. Even the number of cloves was a lot. Four cloves should do good for a cup of rice.

[marlynerisko]

I cant beleive how easy that was and you know what? it worked perfect every time!!

[musaharith]

Cooking is fun and Jamie makes it easier and tastier in so many many ways.

[jamesjeffries]
