Jeera rice is basically cumin seeds flavored rice where you primarily use cumin seeds to flavor the rice, along with other mild whole spices which are aromatic and flavorful.

You can use a 6 quart instant pot to easily prepare this Indian style jeera rice.

Since we usually use whole spices instead of spice powders, the color of the rice won’t change while the rice will be delicious, aromatic and flavorful with a white or ivory (off white color tint) to it.

You may also add sauteed onions to jeera rice if you wish, but in this instant pot jeera rice recipe, I didn’t use any onions, I only used the necessary spices and it was very delicious and easy to prepare.

Adding little ghee gives much flavor to the jeera rice.
