Restaurant Style Jeera Rice
Instructions:
- Rinse basmati rice till the water runs clear of starch. Soak the rice for 30 mins and then drain all the water. Keep aside.
- Heat 4 cups water till it comes to a boil. Add all the whole spices. Add rice and salt. Simmer the rice on a low flame uncovered.
- The rice grains should be cooked till tender and yet separate. Drain the water and keep the cooked rice aside.
- If you want you can rinse also the rice with water at room temperature. This stops the cooking of the rice and keeps the grains separate.
- Heat oil in a small pan. Add cumin/jeera.
- Let them crackle. They have to be fried well otherwise you will taste uncooked cumin in the rice.
- Add the spices. Stir for a few seconds.
- Add the tempering to the hot or warm rice.
- With a fork, gently mix the tempering with the rice grains. Even if some rice grains break, its alright. Do gently taking care so as not to break the rice grains.
- Add coriander and gently mix or garnish the rice with coriander at the time of serving.
- Serve jeera rice hot or warm with a dal or vegetable/paneer curry of your choice.

Aloo Jeera (Potatoes with Cumin)
Jeera Aloo is a typical vegetarian Indian dish which is often served as a side dish and normally goes well with hot puris, chapatti, roti or dal. Its main ingredients are potatoes, cumin seeds and Indian spices. Other ingredients are red chili powder, ginger, coriander powder, curry leaves, vegetable oil and salt.
you just need to boil some potatoes first and then saute them with spices. If you already have boiled potatoes, then making jeera aloo becomes very quick.
Boil or steam potatoes along with ½ teaspoon salt, till they are cooked well. When the potatoes cool down or become warm, then peel them and chop in small cubes.
In a pan, heat 3 tablespoons oil. Let the oil become hot. You can heat oil on medium flame. Add 2.5 teaspoons cumin seeds (jeera) and let them crackle in oil. Stir quickly as the cumin seeds will begin to crackle in oil quickly.
Once the cumin seeds crackle and change color, then add 2 to 3 finely chopped ginger. Add all the spices and mix very well. Then add the boiled potato cubes.
Saute the potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes on low to medium flame stirring often. Next add some chopped coriander leaves.
