JEERA RICE RECIPE | CUMIN FLAVOURED indian rice- bhat

JEERA RICE / CUMIN RICE is yet another favourite dish of mine.I believe this definetely is the favourite dish of most of us. My favourite combination is jeera rice with dal fry/dal tadka ,masala-papad,pickle & piece of lemon
Jeera Rice (Cumin flavored rice), is a simple and tasty variation on plain boiled rice made with cumin seeds. Jeera rice can be prepared in 2 ways, one by total absorption of water by the rice and other by draining the water from the rice,
Generally cumin seeds are lightly sauted in ghee / white oil and then the soaked basmati rice is cooked with sufficient water till soft or the parboiled rice is tossed with the sauted cumin seeds to bring out the flavour. Jeera rice is generally served with any veg or non-veg gravy / curry side dishes.
One good way to utilise leftover rice is to convert it to jeera rice.
