Nasi Minyak

Nasi Minyak goes so well with Ayam Masak merah & acar buah!! The stuff i look forward to every wedding I go to! 

 

1 large onion 

4 cloves garlic 

3cm ginger 

1/4 cup Ghee

1 cinnamon stick

3 cloves

3 cardamom 

2 star anise

3 cups rice 

A handful fried shallot

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup cashew nuts, halved

Salt

2 cups Evaporated milk 

2 cups water

Blend the onion, ginger & garlic and sauté in ghee.

Sauté the blended items and add in the spices. Once fragrant, add into 3 cups washed rice.

Mix throughly and add milk, water and salt to taste. I always go with 1:1.5 rice to water ratio which never fails. But with 3 cups of rice, I lessen the water a bit. 

Cook it in the rice cooker witha sprinkling of fried shallots. Once cooked, sauté the raisin, cashew nuts and a bit fried shallots in a bit of ghee and add in to the rice. Serve with more fried shallot on top
