Muslim Style Ghee Rice is a flavourful rice prepared during functions or festivals. Since Bakrid is in the near corner thought of posting some Bakrid special recipe. This is my favourite recipe from child hood. Rice is cooked in Ghee, onion, tomato and tampered with spices. This recipe tastes best when served with Brinjal Gravy or Chicken Kurma.
