Spiced Rice
Spiced rice also known as Jeera rice, is a classic and simple rice dish that is a staple in many Indian households and a popular accompaniment in restaurants. Its beauty lies in its elegant simplicity and aromatic flavor.Basmati rice is non-negotiable in this recipe.
Unlike a Pulao or Biryani, Jeera Rice is intentionally simple. It serves as a perfect, fragrant canvas to complement rich and spicy curries like Dal Makhani, Dal Tadka, or various paneer dishes.

Mihika's note
Also known as Jeera Rice (cumin rice), this rice is elevated here by a touch of extra secret spices. It is so fragrant that it stands on its own, but it will also be the ideal companion for all your curries or vegetable stir-fries! It is an absolute favourite in every Indian family — and soon in yours too! 🌾✨
