Equipment

  • 1 Vessel
  • 1 Vessel Lid
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Chopping Board
  • 2 Bowl

Ingredients

  • 500 g Basmati Rice
  • 50 g Ghee
  • 50 g White Oil
  • 1 Carrot chopped
  • Half Cup Green Peas
  • 10 French beans Chopped
  • 4 Green Chilies based on your taste
  • 2 Cinnamon Sticks
  • 8 Clove
  • 3 Bay Leave Tej Pata
  • 2 Dry Red Chili
  • 4 Green Cardamom
  • 1 Black Cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon Sahi Jeera
  • ½ Jaiphal Powdered
  • 1 Javitri chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Bengali Garam Masala Powder
  • 50 g Cashew nut
  • 50 g Raisins
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 5 tablespoon Sugar

Instructions

  • Wash rice 3-4 times and keep that aside.
  • Take a large vessel / covered pan (preferably a non-stick vessel and take the ghee and oil and heat it.
  • Add Cashew nuts and raisins to the hot ghee-oil mixture and fry them and keep them aside after frying.
  • Now temper the Ghee-Oil mixture with Cinnamon, Bay Leave, Clove, Dry Red Chilies, Green Cardamom, Black Cardamom, Sahi Jeera, Jaiphal, and Javitri, and cook for two minutes.
  • Add chopped French beans and Carrots first and cook for 3-5 minutes on low flame.
  • Then add Green Peas and again cook for some time.
  • Add a little salt for seasoning.
  • Now add washed rice to the mixture and fry for around 5-6 minutes on low flame. It’s very important to fry rice properly to get the typical taste.
  • Add the rest of the salt and sugar and Garam Masala Powder and again cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Now it’s time to add water.
  • You just need to take double the water proportionate to the rice. What I do is I used the same bowl where the rice was kept to get the proportion.
  • Add the right proportion of water and mix the rice loosely with a ladle and add fried cashew nuts and raisins to it.
  • Add slitted green chilies to the mixture to get a fresh aroma.
  • Bring the water to a boil and after 2 minutes take a spoonful of water and taste it to check the salt and sugar and adjust accordingly.
  • Cover the vessel with a lid loosely and cook for 10-15 minutes or till 90% of the water has evaporated in medium or low flame.

Notes

Water proportion is very important for making Ghee Bhat as if there’s extra water then the end result will be a plate of soggy pulao and vice versa.
