Normally I will just use the overnight rice and stir fry with butter and eggs. Since this is the last minutes request, so I adapted Wendy's garlic rice recipe which her recipe is easy and simple, the difference from her recipe is I added with more butter. Thanks to Wendy for kind sharing !!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteIf we substitute Basmati rice with normal white rice, would the taste still be the same?

ReplyDeleteWow, u used 3 cups basmathi with 4 cups water??
Enough water meh? Basmathi needs a lot of water one woh.

ReplyDeleteRO, yes, you can subsitute with normal white rice, I did it some time when i run out of basmati rice, the taste will have slight difference. The side dish to accompany with this butter rice is curry or rendang..

ReplyDeleteDo I need to melt the butter first? Or do I simply cut into cubes and add to the uncooked rice?
ReplyDeleteI wonder what makes you think lemak means butter. Nasi lemak(malay) means rice with milk (in most case is coconut milk). It is added with pandan(screwpine) leaves to enhance its fragrance.
