  • Wash the rice in a colander, drain the water and add the rice to the ghee mix. Add salt to taste and mix well to incorporate. Cover and let the steam for about a minute to allow the flavours to infuse and coat the rice.
  • Add just enough boiling water to cover the rice, stir well, cover and cook on medium heat till all the water is soaked up by the rice.
  • Now, using parchment paper, cover the rice and add a bit of boiling water on the top of the parchment paper. Transfer the rice pot to a smaller burner and turn down the heat. Cook on a gentle heat until the rice is cooked, tender & firm to bite but not fluffy soft. Once cooked, turn off the heat, leave the pot uncovered to allow the rice to cool down.
