Jeera Rice (Basmoti)

Jeera Rice (Basmati) is a classic North Indian rice dish made from long-grain basmati rice and tempered cumin seeds. Lightly sautéed in ghee or oil, whole cumin seeds release a warm, earthy aroma that infuses the rice with a subtle nutty flavor. Each grain of basmati remains fluffy and separate, making it a perfect companion to rich curries, dals, or grilled meats. Simple yet fragrant, Jeera Rice adds depth to any meal without overpowering the main dish. It’s gluten-free, easy to digest, and a staple in both home-cooked and restaurant meals.
