Jeera rice is a well known Indian dish prepared with cumin seeds and rice. Its quite a popular and well known dish in North Indian cuisine and in some part of Pakistan this dish is an everyday rice dish for many. Quite an easy one pot meal to prepare with less efforts. Usually served along with rajma, jeera rice makes a prefect meal to enjoy without any fuss. Cumin seeds when fried in oil, brings an extreme flavor to this simple rice dish. To give a twist i couldnt stop myself to add some already cooked black-eyed peas to this flavourful rice. Yes adding lobia aka black-eyed peas to this rice turned this aromatic dish more healthy and rich in protein. I dished out this cumin rice for our weekend lunch and served with chicken kurma and liver masala. Trust me we had a fabulous sunday special lunch.
Rich in protein, this Jeera lobia rice can be easily packed in anyone's lunch box. Dont forget to serve this simple rice with a super rich side dish to have a satisfying meal. Since this dish is quite easiest one with simple ingredients, you can prepare them quickly than you can imagine. Even on a busy morning day, if you have some already cooked black-eyed peas in your fridge you can prepare this dish in a jiffy. An excellent protein rich one pot meal to prepare if you are looking for a simple and aromatic rice for your lunch or for your dinner.Am running this week's blogging marathon with one pot meals as theme, obviously this flavoursome rich goes for this week's theme.

Very unique and protein rich preparation with black eyed peas in rice.
I love how you come up with all these delicious pulao by adding different lentils and beans. Great accompaniment to any curry.
Oh! I just prepared Jeera rice this morning. I wish I had seen this post yesterday. I would have added lobia in there :) Very neat idea, Priya.
loved these jeera lobia rice recipe. I make it when some lobia curry remaining. It taste awesome.
Sometimes I do add lobia to make pulao. This is the only way my kids have lobia. Infact I use left over lobia curry also to make pulao
Adding lobia makes it protein rich. And what a easy rice to make. My daughter would love this for sure..
