my mom makes dill rice almost the same way.....isn't it wonderful to have a heavenly smelling rice to go along with plain everyday curries?
ginger rice is something i have never heard of...wonderful recipe...
This sounds interesting Pushpa. Is there any substitute for ginger ? I would love to make this soon.
Never heard about this ginger rice.. never.. how abt the flavor in the rice.. strong? or doesn't show off that much??? Interesting and i want to give it a try!
He he...I meant to ask...Is there any substitute for 'lemon grass' :) ?
Thats a very interesting recipe. I too have same question...any replacement for lemon grass??
Hi Pushpa,
I think it is similar to Thai Coconut Rice. Your Version without coconut milk. I liked your version. Thanx for sharing.
Me, hungry already !
Great Pics. Er What camera you use ?
when I gave birth, the makcik from the morning market came to see the baby and made some ginger rice for me... it was so yummy.. thanks for the recipe.. aiyaa you make me miss malaysia more each day la!!!
Nabeela~ Xactly!!!! Hey dill rice sounds interesting. Will give it a try.
bdsn~ Give it a go & let me know how it turned out.
Sonali & Shilpa~ Thanx. Well, I don't think therez any subs for lemon grass. Actually, itz a M'sian thingy of using lemon grass in almost all of our cooking. It gives a beautiful aroma & a wonderful taste to the food.
Karthi~ The ginger looses itz raw flavour when being fried with the butter or ghee. Hence, the final output (the cooked rice) has a mild gingery taste & aroma.
Menu today~ Do u mean nasii lemak? Some people cook nasi lemak with ginger too. Let me know of the outcome.
Sandy~ Thanx & welcome to my blog. I use a Nikon D50. A gift from my hubby to the blog.
