Cumin rice or jeera rice is probably the easiest thing to make in a rice cooker. I make it occasionally when I don’t have the energy to cook up anything beyond a simple dal tadka and don’t feel like rolling out rotis. The simple addition of fried jeera to cooking eliminates the need for a rasam or kuzhambu. Win!
Pin I got my rice cooker end of last year and have since cooked many things in it apart from plain ‘ol rice. I have a Zojirushi Induction Rice Cooker and the consistency of rice cooked in this is unbelievably good.
