Is it true that if pregnant women drink saffron with milk their children will be born with a fair complexion

hello again Indira. i came back to compliment you on your Mint Pulao recipe. i made it for a party recently, at my place, and the guests just kept asking for more

thanks to you - it was a Big hit.

Indira says…
Hi Parna.. I am glad it turned out to be a big hit at your party. Even people who normally prefer mint(pudina), loves this mint pulao, don’t you agree?
Thanks for taking time and letting me know.

Indra, what a nice idea - showcasing Indian cooking tools and ingredients. I LOVE saffron. Adding just a pinch adds so much flavor to the dish.

Shhhh…don’t tell: Matt actually brought several grams of saffron home with him from his trip to India! I think we’re down to the last gram…

the picture is great indira..i heard spain leads in production of saffron and next is India. it’s got a unique smell and color that u cannot find in any other food product.. in south india pregnant women are given saffron along with milk so that the baby has a fair complexion … i think thats just a myth.is it true?.

Nice idea to have people share their Indian kitchen things. I don’t have much to share but I will stop by to see what I can learn about Indian cooking. (I do have some saffron from Iran which I use very sparingly also.)
