Saffron Scented Fruity Yellow Rice Rice Cooker

---

A wonderful african inspired yellow rice dish that my mum always makes. I have adapted her recipe slightly - and this cooks very well in a rice cooker - a gadget i would not be without! If you don't have any fruit chutney available, add a handful of sultanas & toasted flaked almonds and maybe a tablespoon of peach or apricot jam too. A wonderful accompaniment for most types of stews, cassroles, curries & tagines.
