Jeera Rice

4 cups Basmati Rice
2 tsp jeera
Hing
Few curry leaves
4 - 5 cloves
4 - 5 Elachi

Take 2 tsp of ghee in a skillet add jeera, hing and curry leaves and the masala items and fry till a nice aroma fills the room.

Jeera when cooked with rice gives it own flavor. Raita, kurma or papad goes well with Jeera Rice.
