Jira Rice

This jeera rice might look simple, but it's really one of those recipes you need to have in your back pocket. It's quick, it's easy, and it pairs so well with any Indian side dish. If you see the picture above, you'll notice that every grain of rice is separate and it's not overly greasy or undercooked or gluggy.

Jeera Rice is a delightful rice dish that can be paired with your favourite dal or any gravy. It is a basic rice preparation using tempering of cumin seeds along with few other whole spices like bay leaves, cardamom and cloves. I always use basmati rice for this recipe; as use of whole spices adds aroma and flavours to fragrant basmati.
