Who don’t love jeera rice? I don’t think any. Its flavor is so tempting and just can’t resist having. Hers is my recipe of jeera.
Serves 2:
Preparation Time: 30 mins (including cooking time)
Ingredients:
Basmati rice (long grained) - 11/2 cup
Water - 4 cups
Jeera/cumin seeds - 2 to3 tsps
Jeera powder - 11/2 teaspoon
Green chili - 2 finely cut to very small pcs
Salt to taste
Onion - 1 finely cut to very small.
Oil
Method:
In a vessel add 4 cups of water and bring to boil. Now add rice and 1 teaspoon on salt and cook uncovered on medium flame. Do not overcook. Check in 15-20 mins time if rice is cooked and then drain remaining water. Again keep the vessel back in low flame for 5-6 mins so as to let the remaining moisture evaporate.
Put off flame and neatly spread cooked rice on a large plate (helps separating each grain).
In parallel while rice is cooking, you can start seasoning process. Take a pan, add 3 tbsp of oil and when it’s warm, add jeera and as they sizzle add chopped onion and sauté till transparent. Add cut green chili and sauté for few seconds and finally add jeera powder and 2 teaspoon of salt and sauté till all ingredients blend with each others flavour.
Lastly add the prepared seasoning mixute to the spread rice and slowly mix ensuring rice grains not broken.
Jeera rice is ready. This can be served with spicy dal.
Happy cooking; Enjoy eating!
