Jeera Rice

If there is a one-pot-meal that can be prepared so quickly without much effort, what would it be? Do comment in the comments section. I would like to know from you 😃.

To me, it is the Jeera Rice. Jeera in English is "Cumin Seeds". This is a rice dish made by tempering with cumin seeds. As you know, Cumin Seeds

👉 are good for gut health.

👉 are a rich source of iron

👉 boosts immunity

👉 are good for liver

👉 are good for skin

These are just few benefits of consuming Cumin Seeds. A simple jeera water is a natural remedy for various health problems. So, let's get onto the recipe which uses the goodness and flavour of cumin seeds. I used a rice cooker for making this. You can make it in pressure cooker too.

Ingredients:

Basmati Rice 1 cup

Onion 1

Cumin Seeds 1 tsp or 1.5 tsp

Ginger 2 tsp

Green Chilli 1

Cardamom pod 1

Water 1.5 cup

Ghee

Method:

💧 Soak basmati rice for 15 minutes.

💧 Add ghee in a pan.

💧 Add cardamom pod and saute it for 20 seconds.

💧 Next add minced green chilli, ginger, cumin seeds and saute it for 30 seconds.

💧 Add chopped onions and saute them until translucent.

💧 Add the drained rice to it. Saute it for a minute so that the rice blends well with the rest of the ingredients.

💧 Transfer that to the rice cooker.

💧 Add water and cook it until a la dente. (For 1 cup basmati rice, I add 1.5 cups water.)
