Simple jeera rice (to accompany dahl)

Ingredients:

½ cup basmati rice
3 cups water
½ tsp whole cumin seeds
¼ tsp salt in water for boiling

Method:

  • Wash rice until it runs clear and soak for 30 minutes

  • Rinse through again and remove water

  • Add kettle boiled water to the rice and bring to the boil with cumin seeds and salt until grains are soft. You can have more water than rice - this will make your rice nice and fluffy.

  • Strain in a colander and serve white hot with dahl.
