Jeera (or zeera) rice is an everyday dish in Pakistan and India. In her book “Made in India,” Meera Sodha includes a unique, especially delicious version that incorporates deeply caramelized onions. Their rich savory-sweetness is a perfect complement to the earthy cumin and nutty, aromatic basmati rice. This is our riff on her dish. Made with simple pantry staples, it’s an easy yet flavor-packed side, ideal for pairing with any roasted or grilled vegetables or meat as well as with curries or dal.
