Jeera Rice.....!!!

Jeera Rice is similar to ghee rice the only difference is that we add jeera to this.... Those who wants to try ghee rice, just remove jeera from ingredients, rest all are the same.... I usually use Khaimah Rice for making ghee rice,jeera rice and biriyani... I like its smell and taste... You can make this with basmati rice as well... If using basmati its always better to soak the rice for half n hour prior to preparation...
