The interesting culinary History of ghee cooked rice

Ghee rice, a fragrant and flavorful dish, boasts a rich culinary history deeply rooted in Indian cuisine. This dish has evolved over centuries and is now a cherished part of various regional Indian cuisines. Here’s a brief overview of the culinary history of ghee rice:

Neychoru is a flavorful rice dish with its ancient traditional roots in the Indian state of Kerala. It is prepared by cooking rice in ghee (clarified butter), which contributes a rich and aromatic flavor.

  • Ghee rice has influenced cuisines beyond India’s borders. In Sri Lanka, for instance, “ghee rice” (known as “nehari” or “nei soru”) is a popular dish often served with curries and accompaniments.

Modern Adaptations:

  • Today, ghee rice recipes have evolved to cater to various dietary preferences. You can find vegetarian versions with vegetables, vegan adaptations using plant-based ghee, and fusion variations incorporating global ingredients.

Ingredients you will need

  • 2 onion
  • 1 finely chopped carrot
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 large garlic
  • 3 tablespoon ghee
  • 2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 4 green chili
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg powder
  • 1 piece ginger
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • salt as required

how to make ghee rice

  • Rice should be soaked for 2-3 hours before being washed and soaked, and the extra water should be drained. Cook the rice, then drain it and set it aside.
  • Melt the ghee in a pressure cooker over a moderate flame and add the cinnamon stick, bay leaf, cardamom, and garlic.
  • Sauté for 30 seconds (or until fragrant) before adding the sliced raisins, cashews, green chilies, and diced carrots.
  • To accelerate the food preparation, add sliced onions and salt.
  • Cook for a couple of minutes or until the onions are translucent.
  • Stir in the Rice and the water thoroughly.
  • Close the cooker lid, and pressure cook it on a moderate flame for 2 whistles.
  • Fluff the rice after it has cooled. Now your ghee rice is ready. 

Ghee rice is a popular main dish in Asian cuisine, and you can improvise the recipe condiments at per discretion.  It also takes little time to cook the item, and no big intricacy is involved.

Why grass-fed ghee is the best ingredient to cook ghee-cooked rice?

Grass-fed ghee is often considered the best ingredient for cooking ghee-cooked rice for several compelling reasons:

  • Rich Nutritional Profile: Grass-fed ghee is made from cows’ milk that primarily graze on natural grass and herbs. This results in ghee with a superior nutritional profile, including higher levels of essential nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K and beneficial fatty acids.
  • Enhanced Flavor: Grass-fed ghee has a rich, nutty flavor and a distinct aroma that can significantly improve the taste of ghee-cooked rice. It adds depth and flavor to the dish, making it more flavorful and enjoyable.
  • High Smoke Point: Grass-fed ghee has a high smoke point, typically around 450°F (232°C). It can handle high-temperature cooking without breaking down or developing a burnt taste. It is ideal for frying and sautéing rice and spices.
  • Lactose and Casein-Free: Grass-fed ghee is virtually free of lactose and casein, commonly found in regular butter. This makes it suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies.
  • Gut-Friendly: Ghee-cooked rice made with grass-fed ghee may be easier to digest for some individuals due to its low lactose and casein content. It is often considered a gut-friendly option.
  • Nutrient Retention: Making ghee involves separating the milk solids from the butterfat, resulting in a longer shelf life. This also means that the nutrients in grass-fed ghee are more stable and less likely to degrade over time.
  • Ayurvedic Tradition: In Ayurveda, grass-fed ghee is highly regarded for its health-promoting properties. It is considered a sattvic food that can nourish the body and mind, making it a preferred choice for cooking traditional ghee rice dishes.

In summary, grass-fed ghee is favored for ghee-cooked rice due to its superior nutritional content, enhanced flavor, high smoke point, digestive benefits, and adherence to traditional culinary practices. It elevates the taste and adds a nutritional boost to this classic dish.
