 GHEE RICE RECIPE | STARTUP COOKING

Ghee rice is also known as Neychoru is one of the most simplest and easiest one pot rice recipe made using ghee (clarified butter), basmati rice and whole spices. This rice can be prepared in just 20 minutes. 

Ghee rice is very flavorful and delicious in taste. I added fried onions and cashews for garnishing, which gives extra flavor to the rice. Traditionally, ghee rice is made with seeraga samba rice, here i used basmati rice, you can also use sona masoori rice as well. Don't over cook the rice or else it will turn mushy.

Ghee rice is a staple food in south India  and also a great lunch box recipe for kids. Serve this rice with any spicy curry or with appetizer. Follow my step by step photo recipe to prepare Ghee Rice. If you like this recipe, share it, tweet it and pin it. Please do try and post your comments.
