   Note: Annatto oil is an orange colored oil that is made by heating 1/4 cup of oil with annatto seeds for a few minutes until oil turns orange. It is what makes yellow rice yellow. If you don't have this just add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric to rice to achieve a nice yellow color without altering the flavor of the rice too much, or just omit and add cooking oil.
