Instructions
Preparation
Rinse the rice thoroughly under running water to remove excess starch.
In a small pot, boil 1 cup of water. Add the rinsed rice and cook until soft and mushy (approx. 15-20 minutes). Use extra water if needed.
Once cooked, mash the rice lightly with a spoon to create a softer texture for the infant.
Cooking Steps
Heat ghee in a small pan on low heat.
Add the cooked rice to the pan and mix well to coat the rice evenly with ghee.
Stir gently for 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors and ensure the rice is warm but not overly hot.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the Ghee Rice to the infant at room temperature.
