Preparation of ghee rice in pressure cooker makes this dish very simple and heavenly incomparable tasty meal. More than that, i used most of the spices of biryani in this rice preparation, that really makes this dish so special. Here is recipe of one of my best and favorite ghee rice.

INGREDIENTS

PREPARATION

• Firstly, clean the rice well and soak the basmati rice in water for 15 minutes. This makes the rice soft. When done, drain the rice and set aside.
• Now heat 3 tbsp of  ghee in a cooker. Fry the thinly sliced onion for garnishing until golden and set aside. Then fry the cashews and raisins till done and set aside.
• Now lets start making ghee rice.  Add cardamom, cloves, cinnamon stick, fennel seed  to the same vessel. Saute for a while .
• Then add in  the sliced onion and saute until the onion turns golden slightly. Then add ginger garlic paste and when done, add the  rice to it and mix well.
• Now fry the rice on a low flame for few minutes. Mean while boil 3 cups of water  in a separate bowl.( as it is in cooker, we take 1 1/2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice)
• When the water boils, pour it over the rice. Mix well.
• Add the lemon juice and  salt too.
• Stir well and add curry leaves.
• Close the lid of the cooker and allow it to cook for two whistles ( for best result, off the flame before second whistle starts but never off the flame immediately after the first whistle).
• Then open the lid and let it cool down for 5 minutes and mix well with 3 tbsp of ghee . Never mix immediately to avoid mushy of rice and adding ghee finally,makes the ghee rice very special in flavor and texture .
• Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with fried onion, cashews and raisins.
