Ghee rice

Ghee rice is a  very rich rice preparation garnished with dry fruits,spices  and infused with the aroma of clarified butter,that is ghee.It is best served with the  egg curry,chicken curry or any vegetarian gravy.This dish  is  my amma' s recipe and is the best ghee rice in the world and also one of my favorite rice preparation.As far as possible,any rice preparation like pulav's ,biryani  I use only home made ghee which is very  aromatic.I cant even imagine the preparation with the oil.Anyways its individual choice.So here goes the recipe.


Ingredients:
India gate basmathi rice-2 cups
Water -3 ½ cups
Onions-3 slit lengthwise
Cloves-6
Cardamom-6-7
