Coriander Jeera Rice

Coriander Jeera Rice is a stir-fry rice preparation with whole cumin seeds, fresh coriander and my secret ingredient Kasuri Methi. A very famous preparation in the north of India, this rice dish can be served as a main course with any of your favorite dals. I love to serve this with Rajma curry and Dal Makhani. Prepared best with long grain Basmati rice, this is an easy preparation and also goes well with yogurt. I love using India Gate brand for my rice.
