Chinese tend to use long grain rice. Thai use Jasmine.

I don't think there is any contradiction there, Mick : Jasmine rice (also known and sold as Thai Fragrant rice) is itself long-grain, and is used throughout my wife's very extended family as well as being served in the family restaurant.

Can I use Oil instead of Ghee phil?

You should make a video on how to make it

I can't see why not :  there is a 90% probability it will be fine [1].  Or you could make a small quantity of ghee ("clarified butter") for yourself, if you don't want to buy 500gm -- it is very easy to make.  As to a video, I do think of them as somewhat self-indulgent :  for myself, I prefer a good, well-written, prose description, unless the technique is so sophisticated (which it is definitely not, for "microwave-cooked perfect pulao") that only by seeing it can one have a hope of replicating it.

[1] Afterthought :  Will oil heat successfully in a microwave oven ?  I suspect that ghee heats in one because of the water content.  I will try later today to see if oil can be heated that way.

Couldn't agree more, Phil! How we managed to communicate recipes before the advent of video, I'll never know!
