Jeera Rice

Jeera Rice is a very simple and tasty. Actually this I cooked yesterday for my in-laws who eat non-spicy food. They liked very much:-)

Later was browsing through Nags blog found in that she is hosting Monthly Mingle Ravishing Rice Recipes with Meeta MM. So posting it today since 15th is last day for entry.

Ingredients
Rice - 2 cups ( I used normal Ponni Rice. Can use Basmati Rice too.)
Jeeragam(Jeera) - 3 tspns (Depending upon quantity of rice)
Spices - Laung, Pattai, Elakka, Krambu(Cloves, Cinammon, Cardamom, Black cardamom) - 2 nos each
Cashews - few
Cooking oil - 2 tspns
Ghee - 1 tspn
Salt
Preparation Method
Cook rice and keep separately. Allow it to cool a bit. By mixing hot rice makes sticky sometimes.
In a thick bottom kadai, put oil, l/2 tspn ghee, spices, jeeragam and fry for 2 mins.
Now add rice, sprinkle salt and mix well.
Break cashews to small pieces and fry in ghee in a sauce pan. Garnish it to the Jeera Rice.
