Recipe
Step two
Boil water. During this you can already let the rice fry or 4-5 minutes. Keep stirring.
​
Add water (we tent to put around 400-500 milliliter of water, so that there will be no water after a while). And now add 0,5-1,0 gram of saffron.
Step one
Start of with putting 250 gram of basmati rice into a pan. Use around 2 spoons of olive oil, a teaspoon of kurkuma (to elevate the color and flavor of the dish), lemon juice and salt.. Mix this all together, until the rice looks a bit 'wet'.

Step three
Let the rice simmer for around 15-20 minutes, until all the water has disappeared.
​
Put it o plates, and if you want you can garnish the dish with a little bit of extra saffron on the top.
