Jeera Rice/ Cumin Rice

This one of the very basic flavoured rice. It is very mild in taste and very healthy too. Plus, it doesn't take much of an effort to cook this. This is a regular at my home at least once a week to detox from all the unhealthy binging through the rest of the week.

Ingredients:
Serves Two

2 cups Basmati Rice
1/2 cup Cumin seeds
Salt (optional)
Water
2tsps Oil/ Ghee (clarified butter)

Method:
Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes prior to cooking. In a large saucepan, add oil. Once the oil is ready, add the Cumin seeds and let crackle. Now add salt if required. Add the rice and mix well. Pour in about four cups of water and close the lid. Keep stirring in between and cook till all the water is absorbed. Serve hot.
