Why Choose Amrudh Organic Ghee?

Amrudh Organic Ghee is crafted from the finest organic milk, ensuring that it is rich in nutrients and free from harmful additives. Its unique taste and aroma come from the traditional methods of preparation, which preserve the natural goodness of the ghee. Using Amrudh Organic Ghee in your cooking not only enhances the flavor but also provides a healthier alternative to other cooking fats.

Ghee Rice Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Basmati rice
• 2 tablespoons Amrudh Organic Ghee
• 1 medium onion, finely sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 green chili, slit (optional)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 bay leaf
• 4 whole cloves
• 2-3 green cardamom pods
• 1 small cinnamon stick
• 2 cups water or vegetable broth
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice:

   • Rinse the Basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky. Soak the rice in water for about 30 minutes, then drain.

2. Cook the Spices:

   • Heat 2 tablespoons of Amrudh Organic Ghee in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, bay leaf, cloves, cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick. Sauté for a minute or until fragrant.

3. Sauté the Aromatics:

   • Add the finely sliced onions to the pan. Cook until they turn golden brown, stirring occasionally. This process adds depth and sweetness to the rice.
   • Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chili (if using). Sauté for another minute.

4. Add the Rice:

   • Stir in the soaked and drained rice, ensuring that it gets coated with the ghee and spices. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors.

5. Cook the Rice:

   • Pour in the water or vegetable broth. Add salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

6. Fluff and Serve:

   • Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains.

7. Garnish and Enjoy:

   • Garnish the Ghee Rice with fresh cilantro leaves before serving. This rice pairs wonderfully with yogurt, pickles, or your favorite curry.
