Simple Jeera Rice is one of my favourite rice variety which goes well with dal fry, rajma masala or with some curry. I used Little Millet to make this rice variety.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Cup Little Millet/Samai
- 1 Tsp Jeera
- 2 Slit Green Chillies
- 2 Cloves
- 0.25 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Ghee
Directions:
- Wash and soak the Millet in enough water for an hour. Then drain.
- In a 2 Ltr Pressure Cooker add ghee. Add Jeera, green chillies and cloves. Sauté for a minute on medium heat.
- Add drained Millet and salt. Pour one cup water and cook for 3 whistles on medium heat. Switch off.
- Open after pressure settles down. Fluff up and server with dal or curry.
