    Jeera Rice Recipe

    Jeera rice is my all time favourite dish to make. I make it quite often to serve it with paneer or chicken curries. Since it is very mild in flavour it taste yummy with spicy curries. I served this with butter chicken and it tasted yummy.

      Are there two types of cumin seeds? I think I have the lighter ones. Can I cook in a regular pot instead of a pressure cooker?
