How To Get The Most Flavour Out Of Saffron? This Viral Hack Has The Answer

Saffron, also known as kesar, is one of the most cherished spices in our pantry. Known for its vibrant orange colour and delightful aroma, its usage is mostly reserved for festivals or special occasions. Saffron is quite an expensive spice, so whenever we use it, we make sure to get the most flavour out of it, using it to its maximum potential. As Diwali is right around the corner, we are sure you’re planning to make exquisite dishes and desserts such as biryani, ladoos, barfis, and more. And all of these have saffron as a key ingredient. If you struggle to get that distinct kesar flavour or colour, we’ve got you a viral hack that will be a lifesaver this festive season.
The video of this easy hack was shared by chef Neha Deepak Shah on her Instagram page. In the video, she reveals that if you use saffron in this way, you will get a bright orange colour and an amazing aroma. Neha also shares that she learnt this hack from chef Vikas Khanna during her time on MasterChef Australia. For the hack, start by placing saffron strands between a tissue paper or foil. Fold it nicely, forming a square shape. Roast it on a low flame for about a minute, ensuring to roast both sides. Now, put the saffron strands in a mortar and pestle and crush them nicely. If you are using them for sweets, then add some milk and mix well.
