Indian Saffron Yellow Rice Pilaf

September 9, 2015 by Ceara 118 Comments

Indian Saffron Yellow Rice Vegan Gluten Free Healthy

Guys, I’m sharing with you today my hands-down one of my favorite rice dishes – Saffron Yellow Rice Pilaf. Have you had Saffron Yellow Rice before?!

When I was growing up, one of our close family friends were from India. I have such fond memories of going to their home for family celebrations and always being in awe of the gorgeous, traditional Indian clothing as well as the variety of colorful and flavorful food. My favorite being the buttery, Saffron Yellow Rice Pilaf that always stood out to me because it was so different from the white rice my mom prepared for us at home.

This Saffron Yellow Rice Pilaf is a spin on the yellow rice I fell in love with as a child. It is buttery, FULL of warm flavors and the perfect side dish to serve alongside your favorite curry or Vegan Butter Chicken. I  add a handful of peas to this Yellow Saffron Rice Pilaf for the splash of color, protein and extra taste. I also add some red lentils to this Yellow Rice Pilaf which makes this dish much heartier that a typical rice side dish. On busy weeknights, I like to whip easy, healthy vegan rice pilad up and enjoy it with a side of veggies for a quick, complete and easy meal.

So what in the world makes this Yellow Saffron Rice SO darn buttery even though there is no butter whatsoever in this recipe?!

Coconut milk! 

The coconut milk makes this Vegan Yellow Saffron Rice slightly creamy, rich and the perfect texture y’all. I served this to my family the other day and it’s ALWAYS an instant hit at the table.

If you end up making this delicious Indian Saffron Yellow Rice Pilaf, I love seeing your awesome feedback! Share your creations with me by writing your feedback in the comments below, tagging me (#cearaskitchen) in your beautiful shots on Instagram or sharing your photo on my Ceara’s Kitchen Facebook page. Have a beautiful day guys! #EatHappyLiveHapp

This Indian Saffron Yellow Rice Pilaf is based off a yellow rice pilaf I used to enjoy as a child. This yellow rice is buttery, slightly creamy and goes perfectly with curries or Vegan Butter Chicken. The distinctive yellow color comes from the saffron powder and pinch of tumeric used when cooking the rice.
Author: Ceara
Recipe type: Side
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¾ tsp saffron powder
  • ½ tsp tumeric powder
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1½ cups basmati rice
  • ½ cup red lentils
  • ½ cup coconut milk*
  • 3½ - 4 cups vegetable broth
  • ½ cup frozen green peas
Garnish
  • Fresh Cilantro
  • Green Onion
Directions
  1. Over medium high heat, in a large pot, saute onions and garlic in a ¼ cup of vegetable broth until the onions are soft. Add the spices (saffron powder, tumeric and cinnamon) with ¼ cup of vegetable broth to the pot. Stir and simmer for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.
  2. Stir in the rice and red lentils. Stir, allowing the vegetable broth to dissolve and slightly brown the rice for a minute or so in the hot pot.
  3. Add the coconut milk, additional vegetable broth (3 cups), cover and bring to a simmer over low heat for 10 - 15 minutes until the rice and lentils are cooked. Add a splash more vegetable broth or water if necessary.
  4. Stir in the green peas, stir, cover and leave the rice to sit for 3 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with fresh cilantro and green onion.
Notes
1) For a coconut-free version (or if you just don't have coconut milk on hand) soak ¼ cup raw cashews in hot water for 30 minutes. Drain and blend until creamy with ½ cup of water. I like this recipe equally both ways!
2) If using fresh green peas, add them in halfway through cooking the rice, allowing them to cook with the rice.

    I’ve learned some new things from the blog post. One other thing I have recognized is that generally, FSBO sellers will certainly reject a person. Remember, they would prefer not to use your providers. But if you maintain a gradual, professional connection, offering aid and remaining in contact for about four to five weeks, you will usually have the ability to win an interview. From there, a listing follows. Cheers

    I have really noticed that credit restoration activity ought to be conducted with techniques. If not, you might find yourself destroying your position. In order to realize your aspirations in fixing to your credit rating you have to be careful that from this moment in time you pay your complete monthly fees promptly prior to their timetabled date. It’s really significant because by never accomplishing that, all other methods that you will decide to use to improve your credit ranking will not be successful. Thanks for giving your suggestions.

    Thanks for your writing. I would also like to say that a health insurance brokerage service also works best for the benefit of the actual coordinators of your group insurance cover. The health insurance professional is given a summary of benefits looked for by a person or a group coordinator. Such a broker does is look for individuals as well as coordinators which in turn best fit those requirements. Then he reveals his advice and if all parties agree, the particular broker formulates an agreement between the two parties.

    Thanks a lot for your post. I would really like to say that the tariff of car insurance varies widely from one insurance policy to another, given that there are so many different issues which contribute to the overall cost. For instance, the brand name of the automobile will have a huge bearing on the fee. A reliable ancient family motor vehicle will have a more economical premium over a flashy sports car.

    HI Ceara! What a beauitful color! I can’t stop staring at the rice. Adding coconut milk instead of butter is so smart and prob tastes 5684514648465x better! Yum! Can’t wait to try this pilaf recipe out :=)

      <3 Thanks, Vanessa! The coconut milk really does make this rice so incredibly flavorful and "buttery" :) Let me know if you end up trying it!

      Oopps! Corrected the recipe. You add it in with the vegetable broth at the beginning 🙂

      I made both the butter chicken and the saffron rice tonight. All was delicious! I’ll be making these again!
      One other question – on step one for the rice dish, did you mean to saute the onion and garlic in 1/4 cup of broth or do you put in the entire 1 and 1/4 cup? I added just enough to saute, then added more as needed until step 3.
      Thanks so much for sharing!

        Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, Sarah! I am SO happy that you enjoyed the butter chicken and the saffron rice 🙂 They really do go together so beautifully!

        To answer your question, at the beginning, you saute the onion and garlic in 1/4 cup vegetable broth. I will clarify it in the instruction so it’s a bit more clear 🙂

    Another beautiful dish Ceara! I just love that gorgeous yellow color! I have never even used saffron before in my cooking. I’ve heard it is incredibly expensive, right? I love all the ingredients you used and you know how much I love my coconut milk, lol! I use it to thicken up and creamify my soups as well, it works so amazing! I really need to add this one to the list too. I can only imagine how good it would taste with your butter chicken!! You always just belt out the most amazing stuff!

    Mmmm I could just eat this by the bowl <3 I have had this little bag of saffron that someone gave me for a while and never known what to do with it, this is what I need to make! The spices sound fantastic and coconut milk goes so well with rice I can only imagine the creaminess is incredible!
