Answer 2

Indian Saffron Rice
Indian saffron is richer, darker in its red-orange color then the Spanish or Italian, and gives a better flavor to rice. The saffron should always be steeped in hot water ahead of time and used as part of the liquid in the recipe. The following is a recipe prepared in the Indian manner."

INGREDIENTS
1/8 teaspoon powdered saffron
2 cups boiling water, divided
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice, not rinsed
1 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
Steep the saffron in 1/2 cup boiling water.
In a skillet that can be tightly covered, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the rice and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until the rice begins to absorb the butter and becomes opaque, but do not brown the rice.
Quickly pour in the remaining 1 1/2 cups boiling water along with the saffron water. Cover immediately, reduce heat to low, and cook 20 minutes, or until all of the liquid is absorbed. For best results, do not remove the lid while the rice is cooking

Indian food varies so much from one region to another and the variety is endless. My favourite home cooked food is Chicken cooked with peppercorn and Mutton Biryani ( Mutton cooked with rice and various herbs). Similarly there are any number of Indian desserts traditionally called Mithai. My favourite is Kheer which is a milk pudding made from milk and rice and dry fruits. Kheer can also be made with milk and many other ingredients like carrot, gourd, lotus seed and dry fruits.

Answer 4

I'm not Indian but married to a punjabi, my fave indian food which my father-in-law cook is pork leg curry. It is simply delicious. Then my Eurasian mother-in-law makes the best chapati I ever tasted. Another of my fave is tandoori chicken and naan, as well as tosai. For desert, I enjoy burfee and gulabs, bad for health because of high sugar content but taste so darned good, I only eat it during deepavali because my father-in-law would hit the roof if we eat a lot of it. He's a health fanatic.
