Indian food uses a lot of saffron Biryani - a rice dish with meat, spices and saffron Kheer - a rice pudding with milk + cardamom + saffron + sugar Since saffron is expensive, the right way to use it is to drop a few strings in a glass of water or milk and let it sit for a couple hrs. It really brings out the flavor. Then you can use it whatever dish you are cooking.
