Naga's Jeera Rice (V)

The rice that completes a proper Indian meal

Jeera rice – or cumin rice – is a staple on Indian tables, where plain white rice is rarely served with curry. Naga’s version transforms fluffy basmati rice with gently toasted cumin seeds (jeera), releasing their nutty aroma through every grain. A touch of cinnamon, cloves, and bay leaf adds warmth and depth, creating rice that’s fragrant enough to enjoy on its own but subtle enough to let your curry shine.

Ready in just 2 minutes from the freezer, this vegan-friendly side makes it easy to serve curry the authentic way. Whether paired with dal, korma, or one of FoodSt’s curries, jeera rice soaks up sauces and elevates your meal from simple to complete. It’s the side dish that feels essential once you’ve tried it – quick, aromatic, and restaurant-standard.

• Hi I'm Naga,
  
  Food is synonymous with love to me. My mom's food is the one that I always cherish (even now). She is still a star cook in our family and her food is always the sought-after one in family get-togethers. No one believes that she started cooking only after she had kids, her cooking is so seasoned. Being a daughter of such a good cook obviously kindled a passion for cooking in me as well.
