Healthy ghee rice. The recipe name gives an overall view and some details of the recipe. But conversely, we are not going to use ghee in this recipe. I am replacing ghee with olive oil (my favourite) and you will get aromatic ghee rice. I tried brown basmati rice.

When I tried this recipe the first time, my children saw the brown rice and their first expression was repulsion. But they asked for a second serving after eating.

This recipe totally changes one’s view of brown rice. The ingredients used in this recipe gives a guilt-free satisfaction when you consume it often.
