Ingredients
- 1 tbsp ghee
- 8 cashew (halves)
- 2 tbsp raisins
- 1 bay leaf
- 1-inch cinnamon
- 2 pods cardamom
- 5 cloves
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ onion (sliced)
- 1 green chili (slit)
- 1 cup basmati rice (soaked for 20 minutes)
- 2 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a pan, roast the cashews and raisins until they turn golden brown, and keep them aside.
- Saute the bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and pepper in a pressure cooker.
- Add onion, chili (I don’t add it for my daughter), and saute until the onions turn golden brown. I sometimes add chopped vegetables like carrots, beans, and peas especially when I am preparing them for my daughter.
- Add the soaked basmati rice and roast it for a minute, add water, 1 tsp salt, and allow it to pressure cook for 2 whistles.
- Add the fried nuts and mix them well.
The ghee rice is ready to eat. We usually savor it with some homemade curry!
