Jeera Rice recipe (Jeera pulao)
Jeera Rice Recipe (Jeera pulao) is actually fragrant rice made by tempering it with cumin seeds. Although it is a very easy recipe it has its own unique way of making it. It is mildly spicy and cumin seeds enhance its taste. Cumin rice is the most liked dish of Indian restaurants. Indians eat it with dal tadka, naan, or other vegetables. You can make this popular dish on special occasions or on weekends. We have made it in our recipe by tempering it with basmati rice along with cumin seeds and aromatic spices.
There are two ways to make Jeera Rice Recipe. The first method is restaurant style and the second method is made of jeera rice in the pulao method. We have shared both types of recipes with you. Both the methods are very easy.
- In this Jeera Rice Recipe, fragrant rice is fried after adding mild spices and cumin seeds. In this, the already prepared rice is tempered by adding a little oil, cumin, and green chilies, then pre-cooked rice is added and mixed well. Some people also add saffron and green coriander.
- In the second method, Jeera pulao is made in a vessel or pressure cooker. This method of making cumin rice also has its own popularity, in which cumin seeds and whole spices are added after heating oil in a pan. The masala is roasted and when the aroma starts coming, rice is added, then it is cooked with spices. This method is just like pulao and easy. Therefore this method can also be called cumin pulao. You can make it by keeping it in a pot or in a cooker.
