Cumin Rice

Tired of the plain boiled rice? Look no further and try this absolutely fragrant and aromatic rice recipe. Takes the same time and is much tastier. Glossy and speckled with cumin seeds (jeera). It goes with everything. Not as heavy as pilau, but more interesting than plain rice. This is enough for 2-3 people. Increase the amounts for more servings but always remember to use 2 parts water to 1 part rice.
