JEERA RICE

                                                     
Whoever likes rice items, will like jeera rice. My sister-in-law daughter likes my jeera rice so much. Whenever she meets me, I have to prepare this item for her.We can cook this jeera rice item in two different ways. One is like in fast food centers. The other one is the easy way. You can try this.

Ingredients:
-  ¼ kg basmathi rice (or ordinary rice) (Serves for 4 persons)
 -  2 tbsp of Jeera
 -  1 tsp jeera plus shajeera powder
 -   1 tsp ginger plus garlic paste
 -   1 big onion
 -   Mint leaves
 -   Curry leaves
 -   Corriander leaves
 -    3  chillies
 -    Salt
 -    black salt
-     1 tsp soya sause or ¼  lemon juice
-     pinch of Ajinomoto  (optional)
-     4 cloves
-     ½ inch cinnamon
-     1 bay leaf (optional)
-      pinch of sugar

Proceedure
  -   Measure the rice with  a glass and soak for ½ hour.   Cut onion into small                   
       Pieces.
    -      Heat rice cooker or pressure cooker with the oil.
    -      Add  jeera, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaf.  After fry,  add curry leaf, mint,
            Onion one by one. Once the onion turns brown , add ginger and garli
            Paste. Fry till the oil comes out.
    -      Now add stained rice and fry for 2 minutes.
    -       Add jeera and shajeera powder , sugar, salt, chillies, black salt, and fry one
            More minute.
     -      Add water  double to the rice. (One cup rice means 2 cup water.)
     -       Cook  the rice.
     -       Before serving, again keep it on the  flame, sprinkle soya sause ,ajinomoto      
              And a coriander leaves (cuts) and mix it well.
      -      Now item is ready to eat. We can eat with raitha or dalcha or as you wish.
TIPS: 
      -     Instead of jeera plus shajeera powder, you can use  jeera powder only.
      -     If you want this item little spicy, add 1 tsp of corriander powder.
