Ghee Rice (Easy One Pot Rice)

Ghee rice is a flavourful and aromatic rice dish that is a popular delicious in many parts of India, especially in the southern region. It is a simple yet delicious recipe that combines steamed basmati rice with caramelized onions, ghee, and whole spices. The sweetness of the onions blends perfectly with the rich and flavours of ghee, making it a perfect meal.

Ghee is rich in vitamins A, D, and E, which are important for maintaining healthy skin, eyesight, and immune system. Ghee can be an excellent source of essential nutrients for kids.

Ghee contains high levels of vitamin D, which is crucial for the development

• maintenance of strong bones and teeth

• Provides energy

To prepare ghee rice, you first need to rinse the basmati rice under cold Then, soak the rice in water for about 20 minutes.

Here I have added some vegetables like carrot and green peas. You can add potato, cauliflower or beans but we should add any two veggies only so that we can have original taste. For extra flavour we can add dry fruits also.
