  It's only touted as "Indonesian-style" but what the hay...
  
  As is the case with most Southeast Asian and South African yellow rice
  dishes, the coloring agent called for here was turmeric, not saffron.
  Yogurt appears in many Indian saffron dishes, however, and I suspected
  saffron would work well here.  It does.  You can substitute California
  pearl rice successfully.
  
  Heat 1/4 cup of milk and steep threads for 20 minutes.  Saute onion
  and garlic in oil.  Add ginger and rice and coat grains well.  Add
  the rest of the ingredients, including the saffron.  Season with salt
  and pepper and cover.  Cook over low heat until rice is done.  Serve
  immediately.
