Tips & Secrets
- Using short-grain aromatic Basmati rice is the absolute secret to achieving the traditional professional fragrance.
- Always use full-cream milk; low-fat alternatives will not provide the necessary professional-grade creaminess.
- Stirring the milk frequently is mandatory to prevent it from scorching and developing a professional-grade burnt smell.
- Adding saffron provides the signature professional-grade golden hue and sophisticated floral aroma.
