Rice with cumin from My Bombay Kitchen: Traditional and Modern Parsi Home Cooking (page 164) by Niloufer Ichaporia King

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This recipe appears as variation of "Perfect plain rice" recipe on P162. Can substitute butter for ghee and other long grain rice for basmati.

    Easy but flavourful and a great side

    We have been using a variety of Indian rices for over 20 years now - they are best purchased through Indian groceries where whole aisles are devoted to different varieties. Cumin rice is one of our (many) favourite ways to cook rice.
