How to make it
- Soak the rice in cold water for 30 minutes in a large bowl.
- In an other bowl, mix the curcuma or the saffron to the milk and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter or ghee in a saucepan. Add the onion and ginger and cook for 5 minutes until the onion is transparent.
- Add the cumin, coriander, pepper, cinnamon and cardamome and cook for 2 minutes. Add the drained rice and the salt. Add enough boiling water to cover the rice by about 2 inches (5 cm). Mix well, cover and cook for 6 minutes.
- Add the yellowed milk, in a zigzag fashion. DO NOT MIX so that only a part of the rice is darker.
- Cover and continue cooking on medium-low heat until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed approximately 13 to 15 minutes.
- Let the rice rest for 5 minutes before lifting the cover.
- Mix in the pineapple chunks and the nuts, raisins and place on a serving dish. Serve with fish or chicken.
