Jeera Rice
Easy, breezy, delicious rice.. this is perfect with chicken curries, vegetables, lentils, or even plain yoghurt raita.
Ingredients:
Rice, (usually 1 cup is for 2 people)
whole cumin (jeera)
fried sliced onions, (almost dark brown in color)
oil (ghee preferable)
water (approx double of rice)
salt as per taste
Wash the rice and keep aside. In the mean time heat the water. In heated oil/ghee, add the cumin (rub the cumin in your palms to bring out the flavor). It will sizzle and then after almost a minute, add the washed rice (drain out as much water as you can). Sautee the rice for a few minutes, then add the fried onions and salt to this. Add the water to this. Let it come to a boil, then simmer and cover and cook, about 18-20 mins till the rice is done.
Thats it! Now wasnt that easy and quick!
