Details and Ingredients

Ghee Rice is a beloved Kerala dish that elevates simple Kaima rice into a flavorful masterpiece. The rice is cooked in clarified butter (ghee) with whole spices like cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and bay leaves, infusing it with a warm, aromatic essence. A tempering of fried onions, cashews, and raisins in ghee adds a delightful crunch and sweetness, balancing the subtle spice. This dish reflects Kerala’s love for rich, comforting flavors with a hint of coconut undertones from the region’s culinary heritage.

Served hot, Ghee Rice pairs perfectly with spicy Kerala curries like beef fry, chicken curry, or even a simple dal. It’s a festive staple that brings warmth and elegance to any meal.
