Ghee rice (Nei Choru)

So yummy and relished by all in the family right from children to elders. It has to be eaten with egg curry or mutton curry.When we were in Bangalore, there was a muslim hotel  on CMH Road where we used to get this ghee rice on weekends.My daughter was 1 1/2 yrs old but she used to enjoy this rice.This is generally made with jeera sambha rice.This rice is very flavorful and has a wonderful aroma.But I used basmati.
