Hmm.. yummy ghee rice. Lets see what is required to run a ship in your mouth!

Basmathi rice : 1½ cup (cup of 250 ml)
Cloves : 8
Cardamom : 6
Cinnamon : 2 lengthy sticks
Ghee : ¼ cup (cup of 250 ml)
Onion : 1 medium size
Salt : ¾ tablespoon.

Wash the rice well.
Chop onions finely.

Heat the ghee in a cooking pan, add cardamom, cinnamon and cloves to it. Stir till a pleasant smell comes from the spices.
Add the onion and stir till it becomes transparent.
Add 3 glasses of water and add the rice and salt to it.
Wait till water vanishes completely.
Turn off the stove and enjoy the ghee rice

Tips:
The ratio rice to water is 1:2
