Onion Ghee Masala Rice | Onion Rice | Left Over Recipes

Onion Ghee Masala Rice is a very quick and magical item which you can prepare with left over rice.The recipe calls for less ingredients and less time.I love this rice very much and brings back my childhood memories ,we call it as ‘talimpu annam’ in telugu..Mom used to make this regularly ..You can add whatever toppings you want like podis,chutneys,curries etc to this lovely rice item..Its a great lunch box idea too..

I used a special podi in this to add extra flavour to the rice and this acted like a masala to this aromatic rice..Ghee when combined with fried onion and rice gives you a fantastic aroma..Yous kids will even love this fusion 🙂
