JEERA PULAO – Zeera Pulao – Simple Flavoured Rice
Jeera Pulao is a very easy yet flavourful rice recipe which goes well with any spicy gravy variety. It can be prepared in a jiffy if you have cooked rice ready. Usually for any pulao recipe we use basmati rice. Basically Cumin seeds helps in digestion. So I prepare this while I am making Rajma Curry, Egg Gravy, Matar Paneer or such curries.

Kindly clarify me, whether we have to use only basmati rice. Is it won’t taste good with normal rice.

Basmati rice makes it more flavorful. But You can prepare this using normal rice also. Make sure your rice is not sticking with each other.
