Jeera Bhaat or Zeera Chawal is an Indian and Pakistani dish consisting of rice and cumin seeds.

[2] The Hindi term for cumin seeds is "jeera" or "zeera", with the latter also being used in Urdu, thus owing to the name of the dish.

The ingredients used are rice, cumin seeds, vegetable oil, onions, salt and coriander leaves.

Water is then poured and allowed to boil with covered lid at high flame.

Jeera rice is generally garnished with finely chopped fresh coriander leaves but is also garnished with onion rings in some Indian hotels and restaurants.
