Best 9 Lemon Cumin Rice Recipes

LEMON RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, taking care not to let them color, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat with the oil. Add 3 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, then cover and cook until all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and fluff with a fork to separate the grains. Let sit, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add the lemon juice and mint to the rice and toss to distribute evenly.
• Serve hot, garnished with chopped mint.

LEMON-CUMIN RICE

Steps:

• Soak 1 1/2 cups basmati rice in cold water, 15 minutes; drain. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons cumin seeds; cook 30 seconds. Add 1 chopped onion and cook, stirring, 5 minutes. Add 2 1/4 cups water, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, the rice and 3 strips lemon zest. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook over low heat, 15 minutes. Let stand off the heat, 10 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds, and lemon juice to taste.

JEERA (CUMIN) RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium size saucepan over a medium-high heat. Drop in the cumin seeds, and cook until they splutter. Do not allow the cumin seeds to burn or become really dark brown in color. Add the rice and fry it in the oil for about 1 minute.
• Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the rice for approximately 15 minutes. If you feel the rice is getting burnt near the base of the pan as it cooks, one trick is to place the saucepan on another flat pan or griddle which is directly on the flame. Toss with a fork.
