    Looks good. But just wondering how different is it from a regular vegetable pulao? Ghee rice is more about the rice itself (similar to jeera rice) and less about vegetables.

  • Bharathi said:  

    Yes you are right. Ghee rice is more about the rice. I just added a couple of veggies to increase its nutritional value without taking away the taste. You can leave it out.

    What's left is also known as clarified butter. Much like butter, ghee has gotten a bad reputation over the past 30 years due to its high saturated fat content. ... Ghee made from grass-fed butter is packed with vitamins A, D, E and K, as well as fatty acids CLA and butyric acid, leading to some interesting health benefits.
