Jeera rice

Jeera rice is a very popular Indian dish, which is a fragrant and delicious rice. It is prepared by frying cumin seeds (jeera) in ghee or oil until its rich aroma comes out. Long grain basmati rice is then added and fried to perfection, absorbing the earthy essence of the cumin. When cooked, the grains remain separate and fluffy, creating a pleasant texture. Jeera rice is expertly seasoned with salt and other spices like green chillies, cloves and cardamom are added to add flavour. This versatile dish pairs perfectly with a variety of Indian curries, adding a delightful and aromatic flavor to any dish.
