Native to the Mediterranean cuisine, primarily Greece and Spain, as well as Southwest Asia, saffron is used in several southern European dishes, the "paella Valenciana" or the French "bouillabaisse", a traditional fish stew. It can be found in Indian biriyani rice dishes, in coffee with cardamom in the Middle Eastern hot drinks and flavoured ice creams. 

It is also used to prepare curries (made with masala, garlic, ginger, onion, cumin (Jeera), coriander (Dhaniya patte)) and buns. It can be added to garlic (lehsun) mayonnaise and soups.
