Ghee Rice / NeyChoru made in a Rice Cooker

his rice is wonderfully aromatic and the grains are light and fluffy!
You can make the ghee rice in an ordinary pot with a tight lid and simmer on low heat, covered till the rice is fluffy – You have to watch it.  If you have a thermal cooker, you can prepare the rice and bring the water to boil in the inner pot and then close the thermal cooker for an hour -You will get a nice fluffy Ghee rice. And my favorite way: using a Rice Cooker.
Ingredients:

• 2 cups Basmati or Long Grain Rice
• 4 cups water – room temperature
• 2 Tbsp Ghee /Clarified Butter + 4 Tbsp For frying the garnish
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• 8 cloves
• 8 green cardamom
• 4 small sticks of cinnamon
• ¼ piece of star anise
• 1 Onion Sliced finely
• ¹⁄8 tsp (very little) minced garlic- this gives the aroma a boost.
• a couple of squirts of fresh lime juice
• Shallots, sliced finely, Cashewnuts and Golden Raisins – For garnish.
