Introduction
A quick, hassle-free way to make perfect, fluffy Jeera Rice using a microwave. This recipe ensures that the rice grains remain separate, aromatic, and non-sticky without needing a gas stove, making it ideal for quick meals, bachelors, or traveling.
Step 1
Wash ½ cup of Basmati rice thoroughly, then soak it in water for 30 minutes. After soaking, drain the water completely.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe glass bowl, add 1 tbsp of oil, 2 black cardamoms, 2 bay leaves, and ½ tsp of cumin seeds.
Step 3
Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on maximum power for 3 minutes to prepare the aromatic tempering.
Step 4
Carefully remove the hot bowl. Add the drained rice, salt to taste, and 1 cup of water.
Step 5
Mix gently with a spoon, then cover the bowl tightly with microwave-safe food-grade plastic wrap and pierce 2 small cuts to let the steam escape.

Important Notes
Always use a microwave-safe glass or borosilicate bowl for this recipe.
Be extremely careful when handling the bowl after microwaving as it gets very hot; always use oven mitts or a dry kitchen cloth.
If the rice feels undercooked after 10 minutes, sprinkle a little water on top, cover again, and microwave for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
If the rice seems slightly wet at the end, fluff it up and leave it uncovered for a couple of minutes to let the excess moisture evaporate.
