on Jul 02, 2021 Ghee rice is one of the simplest dishes to make, but the texture of every grain and the taste of aromatic ghee in every bite will give you so much satisfaction! Like my jeera rice recipe, this recipe doesn’t need much, takes very little time to put together, but the result is stunning. I got introduced to Ghee Rice in Bangalore. Anybody else scarfed down plates of Ghee Rice and Kebab at Empire in the wee hours of the morning?
Use High Quality Ghee
This recipe barely has any ingredients and with recipes like this, you have to make sure each ingredient is high quality. If you are buying ghee, don’t skimp and buy something thats organic, preferably A2 and has a beautiful aroma (when in doubt, take a whiff). Or better still, make your own ghee with my easy ghee recipe. That’s what I do!
#1 Tip for Non Mushy Rice
I have only tip for making Ghee Rice every time that has perfectly cooked, non mushy rice with separate grains. And that’s to toast the drained rice till it starts to smell slightly nutty, and you can see that most of the moisture has evaporated. You’ll also see the ghee coating every single grain of rice and that’s what you want. Toasting the rice ensures that once its cooked, the grains stay separate. A lot of people also like to add raisins to ghee rice but in our house nobody is a fan of biting into raisins when it comes to savory foods so I’m skipping it. If you want to, just lightly saute the raisins in ghee along with the cashews. You’ll see the raisins puff up and thats when they are ready. I can’t recommend this recipe enough. It looks gorgeous on the table and is the fastest, simplest way to oomph up lunch or dinner! Pair this with curries such as Vegetable Korma, Chicken Korma or my favourite – Fish Curry.
