Description

Jeera rice is a popular Indian dish made with basmati rice and cumin seeds. It is often served as a side dish and pairs well with Indian curries and gravies. This recipe will help you achieve the perfect restaurant-style jeera rice at home.

Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3-4 green cardamom pods
  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tbsp ghee or oil
  • Salt to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot with lid
  • Stove
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method

  1. Rinse the basmati rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat the ghee or oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the rice to the pot and stir to coat in the spices. Fry for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.
  4. Add the water and salt to the pot and stir to combine. Bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked through and the water has been absorbed.
  6. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 5 minutes.
  7. Remove the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods.
  8. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add chopped onions and green chilies to the pot when frying the spices.
  • If you don't have basmati rice, you can use any long-grain rice.
  • Make sure to use a tight-fitting lid to prevent steam from escaping during cooking.

Recipe Tips
