- Use fresh pineapple – Fresh pineapple gives better smell and taste. If using canned, wash it once to remove syrup taste.
- Frying – I usually fry almonds and tutti frutti in ghee separately. It adds nice colors to the rice.
- Saffron – Soak few saffron strands in warm milk before adding to rice. It adds the mild color and flavor to the dish.
