Steam Rice
Simple, light, and perfectly fluffy, Steam Rice is a staple side dish that complements a wide range of Nepali, Indian, and Asian meals. Its soft, airy grains serve as the perfect base for rich curries, hearty lentils, stir-fried vegetables, or flavorful meats.

Typically made with high-quality long-grain rice — like basmati — or local varieties like jeera rice in Nepal, the grains are carefully rinsed to remove excess starch, then cooked with just the right amount of water to achieve a tender yet separate texture.

Lightly seasoned with a pinch of salt (optional), Steam Rice is delicately aromatic and mild in flavor, allowing it to soak up the spices and sauces of whatever it’s paired with.

Served steaming hot, it’s an essential part of a traditional Nepali thali or a perfect side for everyday meals — comforting, wholesome, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s enjoyed with dal, spicy curries, grilled meats, or pickles, Steam Rice is the humble hero that brings every dish together.
