Jeera Rice is a mildly spiced and flavored steamed rice with nice flavor of fried cumin seeds(Jeera). This recipe also uses onion and cashewnuts fried in ghee/oil to enhance flavour. Its one of the simplest, easiest yet most ordered rice dish in restaurants. U can either use pressure cooker or deep pan with lid to cook rice.
Its mostly preferred over plain basmati rice to go along with dals or curry dishes like Sukka Green Moong Dal, Mixed Veg Sabzi, Paneer do pyaaz etc...
