• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Can you identify what the ingredients are?

They are a type of nut with a similar consistency as sweet potato. The skin/shell is similar in texture to the skin of a black cardamom pod. The unofficial Thai name in "carabao" which translates as "buffalo" but the accepted official name is "krajup" - กระจับ (Tsinghara Nut) which is actually also Thai for a boxer's jockstrap. It is also known as "water caltrop".

Achiote/anatto seeds are often used in place of saffron to make yellow rice, especially commercial versions of it, which come in packages or boxed. We use a popular brand when making "Chicken and Yellow Rice".
