Jeera Rice

Weekends are the time I would like to relax. So I usually make easy dishes. One such dish is Jeera Rice. It takes no time and not a lot of ingredients. Since jeera rice doesnt have lot of spices in it, you can make some spicy red gravy as a side for it. Instead of gravy I made bellpepper raitha. (Click here for the recipe.) Here is the recipe for jeera rice.

Ingredients

• 7 Green Chillies
• 3 Cups of basmati rice
• 5 Tablespoons of ghee
• 2 Tablespoons of cummin seeds
• Salt to taste
• 3 tablespoons of Corriander leaves finely chopped to garnish

Directions

Soak the rice in water for 10 minutes and rinse it in running water. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons ghee in a deep pan. Add the green chillies and cummin seeds (jeera). Now add the rice to pan and saute for sometime. Stir in the water and add salt. Cover the pan and cook the rice in medium heat until the rice is cooked. Once the rice is cooked add the remaining ghee and corriander leaves and give a stir. Serve hot.
