Coming to the recipe for the day, its Vegetable Ghee Rice. I had made this today specially for my nephew who was visiting us. He does not like spicy food. It was a hit with him. He ate only this rice. My cousin sister in law and the others also liked it very much. I heard from her that the kids are still talking about this ghee rice.
These are the ingredients I used to make this wonderful ghee rice. I actually loved the aroma of the whole dish. It was mild and appetising
- 3 cups Basmati Rice ( soaked in water for 15 mins )
- 1 cup each of Beans, Carrot and Green peas ( ahhh I love them )
- 1 clove, 1 small stick of cinnamon , 1 bale leaf , 1 cardamom pod
- 2 green chillies slit lengthwise
- Salt to taste
- Ghee - generous quantity
I will explain how this ghee rice was made with the pictures below
- In the pressure cooker heat a little ghee and add the spice agents, followed by onions , green chillies and veggies.
- Saute them till half done. Add the basmati rice and fry them for a minute's time.
- Add water to the sauted mixture. The ratio I used for this rice is 1: 1.5. Ensure you add a little more water for the veggies also
- Add salt at this stage
- Bring the mixture to a boil and then add some more ghee to it.
- Pressure cook it for 3 whistles and then leave it to cool
- Use a fork to make the rice a little fluffy
This yummy rice is an excellent one pot meal and is well suited for a winter night dinner. I served it with onion - cucumber raitha and potato chips. 
Okay, time to go on a trail to my fellow runners kitchen, wanna come along..
