♥...GHEE RICE...♥

Hello everyone!!! How r U all doing today??? Well, I've been really busy since my Hubby came back...hehehe!

Sorry for no updates for past 2 days from myself. As I said before, I cooked ghee rice and some side dishes to go along with it last Saturday (the day Hubby arrived). I've posted my Ghee Rice pics before but not the recipe. Would like to share the way I do it with all of U...actually I'm pretty sure most of U already knew how to do it...but those who prefer some variation, may try out my style too (it's actually my Mum's style)...

Okey, since I have not much time to blabber today...let's get to the recipe...
