Jeera Rice

Jeera Rice:

Basmati rice cooked in cumin seeds and ghee for a mouth watering flavour. It goes well with any curry.

This recipe serves 4 people.

Ingredients:

150 gm basmati rice.
2 tsp cumin seeds
2 green chilies chopped finely
½ tsp of grated ginger.
2 tbsp ghee.
Salt to taste.


Procedure:

1. Soak the rice in water for half an hour. Boil rice. Put 1 tsp of ghee in the boiling water while cooking the rice. This will prevent the rice from splitting and will give a nice aroma.

2. Once the rice is boiled drain the water and keep the rice for 15 mins so that it cools down.

3. Now in a frying pan heat the 1 tbsp ghee. Add the cumin seeds and it should start bursting from the heat. Add the chopped chilies, grated ginger, cloves and bay leaves.
