Jeera Rice

Jeera Rice is a flavorful North Indian rice dish made by tempering aromatic basmati rice with roasted cumin seeds. The gentle nuttiness of jeera, combined with the natural fragrance of basmati, gives this simple preparation a comforting and earthy flavor. Light, fluffy, and mildly seasoned, it pairs effortlessly with rich gravies, dals, and curries. This dish is quick to prepare, requires no soaking or advance preparation, and is ideal when you want a lightly spiced rice option that enhances rather than overpowers the main course.
