#ricecontest - This flavourful way of serving your plain old boring rice will make it more appealing to the eyes. They not only taste yummy with the flavour of the ghee coming through along with the crunch of the fried cumin seeds, but it will complement any side dish that is served along with it. Try serving it with some Butter Chicken, Dal Makhni, Paneer Butter Masala or Mutton Fry. Even a simple Dal fry will taste much more delectable when paired with jeera rice.
