Jeera Rice

Jeera Rice is an Indian rice dish flavored with cumin/ jeera. If you are bored of eating normal rice, this is a nice twist to the same rice recipe.

Jeera Rice is one of the most popular dish in restaurants. The tempering of jeera gives it a nice flavor and aroma. You can have it with Dal Makhani or Dal Akhbari or Dal Tadka. This is a basic Jeera Rice recipe, anyone can make it as it requires fewer ingredients. It’s a perfect recipe for beginners or bachelors.

For this recipe, I have used only Jeera, but to make it more flavorful you can add more whole spices like cloves, cardamom pods, star anise. Since it is a basic recipe, I have kept it simple and easy.

Let’s get started.
