JEERA RICE RECIPE

Hi..... Today I'm going to share simple and easy jeera rice recipe.you can make this recipe with very simple ingredients. Basmati rice cooked with cumin seeds, onions and mint leaves. You can also cook this with regular rice, but basmati rice gives a good flavor to this dish. You can serve this with any veg or non veg gravies. It tastes really awesome. I mostly serve jeera/zeera rice with hara masala murg, butter Chicken,chicken changezi and butter paneer masala. I used shahi zeera and jeera in this recipe. You can also use only jeera in this recipe. To make this recipe more easier I made this in pressure cooker. If you want to make this in vessel add 1:2 ratio of water and rice.

I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turned.
