Jeera Rice
Jeera Rice is a fragrant and flavorful Indian rice dish where basmati rice is cooked with cumin seeds (jeera), which add a warm, earthy aroma and subtle nuttiness. The cumin seeds are typically tempered in ghee or oil until they release their distinctive fragrance, then the rice is sautéed briefly before being cooked with water or stock. The result is fluffy, separate grains infused with the delicate flavor of cumin. Often garnished with fresh coriander or fried onions, Jeera Rice is a perfect accompaniment to rich curries, dals, or grilled dishes, adding a simple yet delicious touch of spice and aroma to any meal.
