How Jeera Rice fits in your diet
A 1 bowl (~180 g) of jeera rice contributes about 14% of a 2,000-kcal daily target and roughly 9% of an average adult's 50 g daily protein floor. Typically made with basmati rice, cumin seeds, ghee, salt.
Basmati rice tempered with cumin seeds in ghee. For a balanced Indian plate, pair it with a protein source (dal, paneer, eggs or chicken), a sabzi and a small portion of curd or salad. Restaurant or street-style versions can run 20–40% higher in calories because of extra oil, ghee or cream — adjust portion size accordingly.
