Today I will share a step-by-step image, How to Make Simple Jeera Rice/Jeera rice recipe / Jeera pulao Recipe, which is a straightforward but flavorsome dish. It can go well with rajma, chole, or any gravy-based Paneer curry. Here in this recipe, I am not going to use any other spices other than cumin and bay leaf, otherwise the flavor of jeera in jeera rice you won’t get. If you want you can use other whole spices.
