Butter in India is called makkhan. Clarified butter, instead of being called makkhan ghee, is called usli ghee (usli means "real" or "pure," which in this context refers to the real or original fat of the ancient Indians). Clarified butter or usli ghee is essentially French brown butter with the brown residue strained off. Usli ghee has a light caramel color and a heavenly aroma. Since there is no moisture present, it keeps well covered, at room temperature, for several months.

I originally learned this recipe that I learned from my good friend of mine from San Juan. She taught me to make beans and rice like the natives do it. Of course over the years I’ve adapted it to make it my own. The biggest benefit of this recipe is that it is high protein and high fiber. Using brown rice instead of white rice decreases the glycemic index slightly as well. I hope you enjoy!
