It's only touted as "Indonesian-style" but what the
hay...
As is the case with most Southeast Asian and South
African yellow rice dishes, the coloring agent called
for here was turmeric, not saffron. Yogurt appears in
many Indian saffron dishes, however, and I suspected
saffron would work well here. It does. You can
substitute California pearl rice successfully.
Heat 1/4 cup of milk and steep threads for 20 minutes.
Saute onion and garlic in oil. Add ginger and rice
and coat grains well. Add the rest of the
ingredients, including the saffron. Season with salt
and pepper and cover. Cook over low heat until rice
is done. Serve immediately.
