Why recepie famous for?
Jeera rice is a simple preparation of rice that has been flavoured with jeera or cumin seeds. This versatile rice preparation can be eaten as an accompaniment with almost any Dals / Kadhis or Subzis / Curries. Jeera rice with plain curds and pickle or just topped with some ghee is my personal favourite.
