What is Nasi Minyak
Nasi Minyak is a Malay dish of fragrant, yellow rice cooked with a little ghee, evaporated milk, spices and Pandan. Nasi Minyak as the Malay equivalent of the Indian/Pakistani pilau rice. There are many Malay families, especially in Malaysia, who still use margarine or vegetable oil when making their nasi minyak. Sometimes, along with ghee, sometimes, on its own.
Let’s look at the name first. In Malay and Indonesian,
Nasi = rice
Minyak = oil
Sapi = cow
Lembu = also cow
Minyak Sapi = ghee
There are many Malay families, especially in Malaysia, who still use margarine or vegetable oil when making their nasi minyak. Sometimes, along with ghee, sometimes, on its own.
What is Ghee?
Ghee, an indispensable ingredient in Pakistani and northern Indian kitchens, is Clarified Butter, which is pure butter fat. It is obtained by cooking off all the milk proteins and water in butter, resulting in the most aromatic and flavoursome of fats.
