Jeera Rice (cumin rice) is a gently spiced rice where whole cumin seeds are bloomed in ghee or oil along with bay leaf, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon, then cooked with basmati for a fragrant, non‑sticky side that pairs with dals and rich gravies. The cumin tempering lends warm, earthy aroma and subtle crunch, making it a restaurant favorite after biryani for its versatility and easy digestibility.
