Heat the milk until tepid, add the saffron and leave it to infuse in the milk until it is rich saffron yellow in color. Add the jaggery to the rice, turn down the heat and cook gently until the jaggery has melted and has sweetened the rice with its rich, deep sweetness.
Finally add the saffron infused milk, turn up the heat and cook, stirring gently until the rice is a lovely light yellow in color and the whole dish is delicately infused with the flavor and aroma of the saffron. Add the butter, stir it once or twice and served it hot.
