Jeera Chawl Mix instructions

Jeera Chawl (rice) is traditionally served with meat and poultry dishes. It is also the accompaniment to Rajma Dhal (Kidney bean dhal) - normally all other dhals are served with Roti.

This mix will make jeera chawl (cumin basmati rice) for 4 people



Prep time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 20-30 minutes

1 tablespoon ghee (or sunflower oil if dairy-free or vegan)
1 sachet of Pure Punjabi Jeera Chawl Mix ( 1 x rice sachet, 1 x spices sachet found inside of larger rice sachet)
525ml of tap water (not hot water, cold tap water)
 
Method:

1. Empty rice sachet into a large bowl and wash the rice 5-6 times (or till the water runs clear. Once the water runs clear, drain the rice well. You must not skip this step.
2. Heat a saucepan over a medium to low heat. Add the ghee (or sunflower oil) to the pan. Once the ghee has melted, add in all the spices from the spice sachet. Stir and gently cook for a couple of minutes.
3. Add the drained rice, and dry cook the rice over the heat for 2-3 minutes. The rice will almost become sticky - this is normal. Just keep the rice constantly moving during this dry cooking process.
4. Add 525ml of tap water and stir. With the saucepan uncovered, (leave the lid off), turn the temperature to the highest setting to bring the rice to the boil. As soon as it as come to the boil, turn the temperature to the lowest setting and put the lid on the saucepan.
5. As soon as all the water has been absorbed into the rice, it is cooked *Note: this is the absorption method
6. Run a fork through the rice, this stops it from going sticky and forming a solid clump at the bottom of the saucepan and keeps it light and fluffy. Serve hot.

 
Jeera Chawl is served with chicken and lamb dishes, in addition to serving it with our Punjabi chicken, it is also delicious with our Rajma Dhal Mix, with which it is traditionally served.
