Paella is one of Spain's most famous dishes, and that also makes it popular all over the world too. It's basically a rice dish that can have either chicken, seafood or any other meat added, chorizo being a very popular addition too.

Although the original version is a lot fancier, nothing stops us from making this dish our own, and tweaking the ingredients according to our taste buds and budgets.

The vibrant yellow colour is usually achieved by adding saffron, which is quite a pricey ingredient. Saffron does add a subtle unique flavour to the dish, but I found that the best replacement for saffron is turmeric, which is a lot more easily available and cheaper too.

Authentic paella might not use turmeric, but I am not claiming this to be a traditional dish, but more like my own take on the classic Spanish sample food. It's a lot easier to make, with whatever ingredients I had around, but so delicious and as posh as it can get.

For this dish I used frozen mixed seafood, which was cooked straight from frozen, but I removed any ice particles as well as I could, in order to avoid getting too much liquid into the rice. Alternatively, the seafood can be thawed beforehand and cooked chilled.

The stock/broth is very important, as this gives so much flavour to the dish, I used chicken stock, but fish stock, if you have, is a very good addition here.

Unlike the Italian risotto, which has a creamy texture, the paella doesn't need to be as creamy, that is why there is no need to stirring frequently. Leave the rice to cook undisturbed, that's the way to get a rice grains separated.

And that's my take on the Spanish paella, I for one absolutely loved it, and I will definitely try more variations too. Do give it a try, you will love it!
