Ghee Rice
Indian style steamed rice flavored with ghee or clarified butter along with whole spices to make the rice aromatic. This rice is served with a curry.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sona masoori / basmati rice
- 1 small onion sliced
- Whole spices: 2 bay leaves 1 stick cinnamon, 3 cloves, 3 green cardamom
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 4 cups of water
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 5 tablespoon ghee
- Salt
Instructions
- Wash and soak rice. (Sona masoori – 10 minutes & Basmati rice – 30 minutes)
- Heat ghee in a large saucepan and add all the whole spices.
- After a few seconds add chopped onion and then ginger. Fry till soft. (no need to brown)
- Add the measured water, salt, and vinegar. Wait till the water starts to boil.
- Add soaked rice to the water and stir.
- Place the lid and cook on medium heat for about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Once the water has dried up, gently stir and loosen the sides so that all the trapped steam in the rice escapes. Make 3 dents in the rice and again place the lid and cook on the lowest heat for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and gently lift up the rice so that the bottom portion comes on top.
- Cover and let the rice rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot with any curry.
