SAFFRON TINTED YELLOW GLUTINOUS RICE



For her Majlis Doa Selamat (Prayer for Safe Travel Ceremony), Kamariah specially cooked Yellow Glutinous Rice for her guests who were present.  Instead of using turmeric to colour the glutinous rice, she used saffron instead and that is why the colour of her rice is a brilliant yellow. 
For your information saffron which is a spice derived from the crocus flower is very expensive.Because each crocus flower's stigmas need to be collected by hand and there are only a few per flower, saffron is the most expensive spice in the world.
