Oleh Pen Friend, 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.
Heat the ghee & add cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, fennel, star anise & crushed pepper. Saute for two minutes.
Langkah 2
Add the chopped onion & sliced chillies into it. Cook till onions are translucent.
Langkah 3
This step is optional. You can skip it, if you don't want to add ginger-garlic paste to the onions, else add it. Saute.
Langkah 4
Add rice to the pan & stir fry for two minutes. Add water, salt & turmeric powder. When the water starts boiling, add the mint leaves. Close the lid & cook it till all the water is gone. Stir occasionally.
Langkah 5
When the rice is done, garnish with mint & coriander leaves.
