Jeera Rice

The slightly fancier plain rice ;)

You'll need:

- 1 cup basmati rice (if you are weight conscious but can't resist rice, use Arise from Saffola - a healthier rice option)
- 2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 sliced onion
- 2 tbsp cashew nuts
- 3 peppercorns
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 tbsp ghee
- Salt to taste
- Coriander leaves

And here's how:

1. Sabse pehle, wash the rice & drench it in water for half an hour.

2. Heat the ghee in a saucepan. Then add the cashew nuts & fry till they turn brown & take them out & keep them aside.

3. Now, to the same ghee, add the onions, bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon sticks, cumin seeds & peppercorns and fry for a while.

4. Then, add the rice, salt & water, and stir. Now cover it & simmer the flame. Keep cooking till the rice is done.

5. Finally, garnish with the coriander leaves & serve with love!
