Jeera Rice

Jeera Rice is a simple yet flavorful main dish. It goes well with any veg or non-veg curry.

First time I had this at my friend's dinner. She served me jeera rice and a spicy andra chicken. I dint feel like trying any other veg and roti dishes that day. It was such a great dinner. So just noted the recipe from my friend's MIL and tried at our home too. It was such a simple recipe to make. Its flavor makes it rich.
It is suitable for lunch box and parties too. And a best alternate recipe for sunday's briyani or fried rice.
As it is not spicy, well suitable for kids.
