Ghee Rice

Ghee Rice

Hmm..reminds me of the aroma the ghee rice and the veg kurma combination would fill the whole house. This was one of those speciality items then, which was usually prepared in the weddings. I remember tasting this in some marriage and Mom was dissecting the combination, identifying the ingredients, when we were enjoying. Later she tried this one out and hmm..it was yummy..

Next time this will on my list of requests when she comes here or when I go for vacation.

Below is my version of ghee rice.
