About Zeera pulao

Zeera Pulao, also known as Cumin Rice, is a fragrant and simple dish from Indian cuisine. Made with basmati rice, aromatic cumin seeds, and cooked in oil or ghee, it often incorporates mild seasonings like bay leaves and cloves for additional flavor. Zeera Pulao is light, gluten-free, and a wholesome option for pairing with curries, lentils, or yogurt-based sides. Basmati rice provides carbohydrates for sustained energy, while cumin is rich in antioxidants and aids digestion. However, depending on the amount of oil or ghee used, the caloric content can increase, making portion control important for those monitoring fat intake. The dish is versatile, easy to prepare, and widely enjoyed for its balanced blend of nutrition and taste.
