Perfect Jeera Rice



serve 4 people
...
2 cups long grain rice (soaked for 20 minutes)
1 tbsp oil
 1 tsp cumin seeds

3 cups water (I normally add 1 and a half cups water for every cup of rice, but feel free to adjust according to the rice type you are used to)
1 and a half tsp salt (or to taste)

1/2tspn of vinegar
 
Heat the oil in a pan, then quickly add cumin seeds . The minute they splutter, add the water and saltwith vinegar. You have to be quick so as not to allow the spices to burn. Bring the water to a boil, then drain the soaked rice and add it in. Cook on medium heat giving an occasional stir, until the water diminishes, then lower the heat to very low and seal the pot completely tight. Let the rice continue to steam (on dum) for about 10-15 minutes. Serve! :)
