Ghee Rice

The choice of rice is very important when you are cooking Ghee Rice. The traditional way is to use "Jeerakasala" Rice. But it's not available everywhere, so I have used Basmati Rice for this recipe. You can soak the rice for 20 minutes prior to cooking. Some rice are sticky. This is one problem we face while cooking ghee rice, since the rice is not drained. It's still an easy recipe to try. You can fry cashew & raisins in ghee separately & garnish with it.Taste best with chicken curry & raita.
