Talking about paella I recently bought two of those paella pans … the proper carbon steel type. John Lewis stock them too.
Anyhow avoid using turmeric as it will be bitter.
You might as well buy some lower grade saffron.
Go to TK Maxx as they have some cheap saffron from Spain.

Turmeric is bitter, avoid it in paella.
This ^^^
Or use a ladle and a half
You will be eating bitter paella. 😆

Spanish saffron is very different to the expensive stuff.
I think I have to agree with this … lower grade.
Me mate from Persia has the proper stuff as they use them a lot in their cooking … 😛
Edit: I also bought some paella rice, sweet & smoked paprika from TK Maxx. For the rice the best one is from a region in Spain for paella. Apparently paella is very famous in Valencia. 😛
