QUICK AND INSTANT JEERA RICE WITHOUT SOAKING IN COOKER

QUICK AND INSTANT JEERA RICE WITHOUT SOAKING IN COOKER

INGREDIENTS [ cup – 240 ml ]

Aged basmati rice – 1 cup
Water to cook the rice – 1 ¾ CUP
Whole garam masala – 1 bay leaf + 1 star anise + 1 clove + small piece of cinnamom + 1 black cardamom [ optional ]
Oil + ghee – 2 tbsp
Salt as required
Cumin seeds or sai jeera – 2 tsp
Finely chopped coriander leaves

METHOD

Wash the rice and keep aside – no need to soak the rice .

Heat ghee + oil in cooker on medium flame .

Add the jeera + whole garam masala and let it crackle . [don’t burn the garam masala ]

Add the rice and mix well, till the rice is coated with the ghee .

Add the water + salt .

Close the cooker and pressure cook on medium flame till first whistle .

After the first whistle , off the flame .

Don’t open the cooker , the rice gets further cooked in the steam inside the cooker.

After 20 mins open the cooker and fluff it with a fork .

NOTES

Use basmati rice for more flavour or even regular rice will do .
Whole garam masala is optional .
Y not cook the rice in stock . [ I do try sometimes maggi cubes ]
It is better to use shah jeera instead of regular jeera.
I like to add the coriander leaves in the tempering .
Don’t reduce the oil + ghee quantity .
While tempering you can also add ginger garlic paste and green chilli .
We can also garnish with fried cashew.
While tempering I also add ginger garlic paste little and fry it well , it gives lot of flavour .
Also we can add onion .
