Ghee rice -Thalassery style

I had posted a ghee rice / neichor recipe before which is the normal method of cooking rice with

water in a 1 : 2 proportion. This is the method we usually follow at home, which is the easiest way

of cooking rice. I have seen my Thalassery neighbour always cooked ghee rice using the frying

method. She fried rice in an immense amount of ghee, before cooking it in hot water. If she makes

Biryani, she prepared ghee rice first using the same method and then mixed it with biriyani masala.

(See the procedure here) The amount of water used is lesser in this method since we cooked rice

once in ghee. I don't know this method is followed in any other place.

Two of my readers had the same doubts, why their ghee rice turns yellow or the rice is so sticky

after cooked. A poor quality rice, the excess amount of water, the color and less amount of ghee

etc may affect the outcome.

Ingredients

Basmati rice 2 cups

ghee 3 Tbsp

onion 1

cashews and raisins as desired

fennel seeds 1/4 tsp

cardomam 2

cloves 2

cinnamon 1 " piece

water 3 cups(for 1 cup rice 1 1/2 cup water)

How to prepare

Wash and soak rice for half hour in water. Drain it and keep aside.

Wash and soak rice for half hour in water. Drain it and keep aside.

Boil water with salt and keep it hot.

Heat ghee.Roast cashews and raisins and take out and keep aside. Add fennel seeds and other

spices with chopped onion.

When the onion is transparent, add washed and drained rice.Roast rice until it slightly changes

color. Add the previously boiled hot salty water into it.

Boil , reduce heat. When the water absorbs and holes appear on top,keep the lid closed and

switch off fire. Keep it covered for half hour.

When you serve, slowly separate the rice with a fork or a big spoon without pressing it much.

Garnish with the roasted cashews and raisins.

If your rice is not roasted properly, the amount of water wouldn't be enough for cooking rice

completely. If so, add 1/2 cup or more hot water into it and cook for few seconds too. So keep

extra hot water aside when you cook.

Keep the lid closed in the whole process. You can open the pan in-between and just stir the rice

until you switch off fire.

Ghee rice is usually served with parippu / dal curry, kachambar and thairu / raita..See the dal

perparation here.

See neichor with kachambar here.

Happy, Kachambar is a salad made with onion, tomato , green chillies in vinegar. I have given that

recipe in the earlier ghee rice post. Please check it. You will surely love it with ghee rice, and

meat curry..

If we fry the rice before, it won't turn mushy and stick together. In my house, if it is one pot dish,

my mom fries the rice before. It looks delicious thalassery style Neichoru.

Hii,

Ur recipe made me mostalgic :( Neyychoru looks absolutely fab. I had friends from thalasery who

used to bring naichoru whilst in hostel. It was bliss. I will try this out and let u know. And I have

also book marked ur pudina- coconut chutney. I remember it having it with biriyani from "Paragon"

or "sagar" hotel in calicut.

I tried the date fritters. It was very good. I didnt knew till I saw ur recipe about this snack. Thnx

for it.
