Jeera rice or cumin rice

Jeera rice or cumin fried rice .It goes well with all the curries.,specially daal.I just love to have have jeera rice with daal.Jeera is normally used in all of the tamperings in south Indian curries.
Usually what i used to do is make rice and then add it to the mix which i prepare for this cumin rice,i saw it on the internet to do it the other way,i mean do the tampering mix for this recipe and then add it to the raw rice, add salt and water and then cook it.I tried this and it came out to be very tasty .I could actually smell the aroma of the jeera,in the whole rice ,not just here and there.7

ingredients for Jeera rice,
Uncooked basmathi  rice -1 cup
Jeera-2 teaspoons
Chopped coriander-a few(6 to 7 strands of coriander)
Salt-1 teaspoon
  1. In a pan take 1 tbsp of oil,(you can add ghee instead of oil)as you start heating it add jeera to it .When jeera  starts spluttering ,turn off the heat.Take the pan out of the stove and then add the coriander leaves to it.
  2. In  a bowl rinse the uncooked  rice in water and then add 1 cup of water to it 
  3. Add the tampering you just prepared .Mix salt into it.cook until the rice is cooked.
  4. If you are cooking in a pressure cooker,cook it until 3 whistles.Add 1 1/4 cup of water for 1 cup of uncooked basmathi  rice.
