The foundation of good ghee rice lies in using long-grain basmati rice. It ensures the grains remain fluffy, enhancing the texture.

Soaking the rice for 20-30 mins before cooking helps it absorb water evenly, resulting in well-cooked rice. It also helps reduce cooking time.

Ghee is the key to this dish's rich flavour. Be generous while adding it during cooking, as it also keeps the rice grains from sticking together.

Begin cooking on medium heat and then lower the flame once the water starts boiling. This ensures the rice doesn't become mushy.

Finish your ghee rice with a garnish of fried onions, roasted cashews, and raisins. This adds texture and an extra layer of flavour to the dish.
