Jeera Fried Rice

Jeera fried rice is a simple yet aromatic Indian dish where cooked rice is stir-fried with cumin seeds (jeera) as the main flavoring ingredient. The cumin seeds are typically tempered in hot ghee or oil until they release a nutty, earthy aroma. Lightly sautéed onions, green chilies, and occasionally garlic can be added for extra flavor. The rice is then mixed with the fragrant cumin mixture, and seasoned with salt. The dish is often garnished with fresh coriander leaves and sometimes paired with yogurt or curry, offering a deliciously warm, spiced flavor.
