Healthy ghee rice | How to make ghee rice | Nei choru

The recipe is called “Healthy ghee rice”, which provides a general idea and some specifics about the dish. However, the recipe does not actually use ghee; instead, I am substituting it with my favorite, olive oil, resulting in a fragrant dish called “ghee rice”. I used brown basmati rice for this recipe.

By using olive oil instead of ghee, you’ll be making your ghee rice much healthier. Olive oil is a good source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which can help lower your risk of heart disease. It also contains antioxidants that can protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Overall, healthy ghee rice using olive oil is a delicious and nutritious dish that you can enjoy guilt-free. Give it a try and see how easy it is to make your favorite Indian dish healthier!

Initially, when I served this dish to my children, they were put off by the brown rice. However, after trying it, they asked for seconds. This recipe has the ability to change one’s perception of brown rice. The ingredients used in this recipe offer a satisfying and guilt-free eating experience when consumed frequently.
