Kesar

Kesar — Pure Saffron Threads | 1 g

Kesar (the Hindi name for saffron) is the world’s most prized spice — hand-harvested from the stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower. Just a few threads are enough to transform a dish with a stunning golden hue, a delicate floral aroma, and subtle earthy warmth. A must-have for festive and everyday South Asian cooking alike. Pure saffron threads, no fillers or additives.

Culinary Uses:

• Biryani and pulao — for signature golden colour and floral aroma
• Kheer, halwa, and Indian sweets
• Kesar lassi and saffron milk (kesar doodh)
• Shrikhand, rabri, and kulfi
• Festive and wedding recipes
• Saffron rice and Middle Eastern pilaf
• Paella — saffron is the defining spice of traditional Spanish paella
• Saffron-infused cream sauces, risotto, and European preparations

How to Use: Steep a few threads in 2–3 tablespoons of warm water or warm milk for 10–15 minutes before adding to your dish — this releases the full colour, aroma, and flavour. A little goes a long way; 4–6 threads is typically enough for a pot of rice or a litre of milk.
