Ghee rice is a fragrant and flavorful dish that is a staple in many South Asian households. The primary ingredients include basmati rice, ghee (clarified butter), and a mix of aromatic spices such as cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and bay leaves. These spices are gently fried in ghee to release their flavors before being combined with the rice. Often, the dish is garnished with fried onions, nuts like cashews or almonds, and raisins, adding both texture and a hint of sweetness. Ghee rice is typically enjoyed with rich curries, yogurt-based raita, or simple pickles. Its rich, buttery flavor makes it a comforting and indulgent meal that is both satisfying and easy to prepare.
