Best Saffron Rice With Raisins And Cashews Recipes
BASMATI RICE WITH FRIED CASHEWS AND RAISINS
This recipe was inspired by a New Year's Day feast I was invited to starring a huge chicken biryani. I helped the host with the final touches of the meal, including frying some nuts and raisins as a topping. I loved the flavor and texture they brought to the meal. While this recipe is certainly not biryani, the toasted toppings mixed into a lightly spiced rice, takes me back to that special day.

SAFFRON RICE WITH CASHEWS
The original recipe called for chopped pistachio nuts, but when my mom was teaching me to cook, she only had cashews. I was never a cashew fan until I tasted this dish. The cashews become rather soft and separate into halves. The whole dish has an aromatic and softly sweet flavor. I've used cashews ever since, not even bothering with pistachios!
