Ghee Rice is one such dish which is popular in north-south-east-west ..all over India, each recipe slightly different from the other. This is my mother's recipe which is intended to be a little lighter than the traditional recipe. I love it and i make it for parties and occasions. For me it is the Ultimate comfort food.

Garlic Cloves 4-6
Red Onion 1 small
Bay leaf 1
Cardamon 3-4
Green Chillies 6 and above
Ghee 2 tablespoons
Cloves 5
Cinnamon 1/4 inch piece
Salt
Mint 1 small bunch roughly chopped
Coriander 1 small bunch (chopped)
Turmeric 1/2 teaspoon

Keep stirring and once the onion is translucent add washed basmati rice.Stir very gently for a few minutes and when the rice is fragrant add a little over 4 cups of water and the coriander.
