Ghee Rice recipe is given here with Step by Step Instructions and Pictures.
Ghee Rice is one of the simplest and easiest one-pot recipes that everyone can come up with. It can be made for any occasion or at parties for the guests that will make a hit dish. This is a common recipe that is served for either the Vegetarian menu or for Non-Vegetarian. Also, it serves as a quick lunch box recipe for your kids.
When you are serving Vegetarian food, you can serve Ghee rice with dal, pappad and pickle. That makes an amazing combo. In the case of Non-Vegetarian food, you can serve this with either chicken or mutton curry. Some prefer Beef gravy as well. So we no need to worry about the side dishes for the Ghee Rice recipe.
Moreover, cooking ghee rice is the simplest one since it has very minimal ingredients and takes less time as well. I always prefer Ghee Rice when am cooking any non-veg dishes likes Chicken Curry or any kind of Chicken or Mutton Recipes. Hope you will give it a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
