Dal seems incomplete without the serving of rice. However, if it is dal fry, you cannot serve steamed rice because jeera rice is a better accompaniment. Here is a quick recipe to try.
2 tbsp ghee 1 cup rice 2 cups water 1 cinnamon stick 1 tsp cumin seeds A pinch of salt 2-3 peppercorns 1 slit green chilli 2 cloves 1 bay leaf
Rinse basmati rice with cold water to get rid of dirt and prevent the grains from being sticky.
While you soak the rice for 20 minutes, boil water in another pan.
Add a cinnamon stick, bay leaf, clove, and peppercorns.
Once they release aroma, you can take them out or leave them in the boiling water.
Fold in rice grains in the same water. While rice grains are cooked, prepare the tempering of cumin seeds and green chilli.
Pour the tempering over the rice and let the ingredients cook until the grains expand and absorb all the water.
