Jeera rice recipe is a tasty flavorful one-pot rice recipe. The detailed recipe with this & tricks to make the best restaurants style Jeera rice in Instant pot. 

Restaurant-style Jeera rice

Jeera rice is a popular rice dish served in many hotels along with gravy varieties. Subtle cumin-flavored rice is so healthy and tasty

Why Jeera rice in Instant Pot

Most of the restaurants cook rice Al dente for Jeera pulao. My toddler finds it difficult to eat that texture so I prefer cooking rice in an instant pot or pressure cooker.

Should I use hot water for soaking?

No, always use room temperature water for soaking and never soak the rice for a long time. 5 minutes works best.

Why hot water for cooking?

I find pulav cooked in hot water comes fluffy with a perfect texture. I generally do Auto cutoff in the kettle. 

Can I cook jeera rice in the pressure cooker?

Yes follow the recipe and cook for one whistle. Adjust the water according to your basmati rice.

How to make postpartum-friendly Jeera rice?

I have used whole green chilli so this recipe makes it perfect no spicy jeeraga rice which is good for new moms’ digestion. You can cook jeera rice with little extra water for easy digestion.

Notes

  1. I have used basmati rice but you can variety of rice. Adjust the water accordingly
  2.  Long Grain Basmati Rice is recommended for the best restaurant style fluffy rice
  3. Always wash the rice well at least 3 to 4 times, until you see clear water
  4. For Al dente cooking, prepare rice in an open pot
  5. Avoid soaking the rice for a long time
  6. Always use room temperature water to soak the rice. Avoid warm /hot water required.
  7. If you prefer crunchy cashews, saute cashews and cumin seeds; keep aside and add them after cooking rice
  8. You can star anise or any other whole spice of your choice
  9. A few drops of sesame oil are optional but help for perfect texture
