This Jeera Rice Recipe is an easy Indian rice dish flavoured with cumin seeds and ghee. It is a perfect accomplishment for an Indian meal with any curry. It is the simplest and quickest rice among all the rice recipes.
You can make this jeera rice in two methods one is a pressure cooker and the other is in one pot. I usually prepare this dish using the one-pot method. Like cooking the rice first and then tempering it with ghee and cumin seeds.
I cooked this Jeera rice for Food Bloggers Recipe Swap in FB group.
For this month, April I have to cook from Nayna's blog “Simply sensational food”, she blogs about a vegetarian dishes and you definitely visit her site where you can find delicious recipes along with her travel experiences.

Great rice for all the curries and gravies. I simply love it with paneer gravies. Lovely pictures.
I either cook rice along with the spices or add cooked rice to the tempering. Doing both probably made this rice even more flavorful.
