Ghee rice (Nei choor)

Yet another simple and easy dish, everyone can make it very easily. Not much time consuming or neither too many ingredients needed.  

Jeera chamba rice or jeerkashala rice it is known, the outcome of this recipe is only  fantastic with this rice. Infact this rice has a aroma unlike how the basmati has. Look at the above pictures  where the rice grains are so small.

Ingredients:

Jeera chamba Rice - 1 cup 

Cloves 3pcs, green cardamom – 2pcs

Salt – to taste

Ghee or oil

Lime juice of half small lime  

Bay leaf – 1 no

Method

·        Soak the rice for 30minutes and then drain and keep it aside

·        Add oil/ghee (originally to this recipe they add ghee but I don’t like ghee so I add oil) to the pan, garam masala  to pop up

·        Add the soaked rice, keep the stove on sim and then fry the rice for 5 minutes.

·        Add 1:2 ratio (one cup rice means 2 cups water), add salt, bay leaf  and lime juice and allow it boil

·        Put it in dham or your rice cooker

·        Cook well until the rice is cooked completelyl

This rice goes very well with the Mutton curry (recipe in my blog) and surki ((recipe in my blog). Believe me this is just yummy and one of the best combi to try out. My family just love this combi.
