Jeera rice is a very simple and tasty rice that can be prepared in a few minutes. I first tasted this recipe in my brother’s house. My sister-in-law made this and I am in love with it. You can serve this with a simple raitha or any gravy that you make for roti. First I thought of making raitha but my hubby asked me to make any gravy. And I made Floating potato in paneer matar. He liked it and the rice tasted better with this gravy.
