Wash and rinse the Basmati Rice properly under running water so that the starch is removed. Keep it aside.
Heat Oil or Ghee in a pressure cooker under medium heat.
Add Cinnamon Stick, Black Cardamom, Cloves, Dry Red Chilli and Bay Leaves. Black Cardamom should be broken into two pieces so that the Rice absorbs its flavour properly.
Fry it for 30 seconds by continuously stirring. Be careful that the Bay Leaves do not burn.
Add Cumin Seeds and allow it to crackle. Fry till the crackle completely stops and the Cumin is well cooked. Uncooked Cumin can change the taste of the rice.
Now add Basmati Rice, Salt and Water. Mix it with a spatula.
Cover the lid of the cooker and pressure cook for two whistles under medium heat.
Switch off the stove and allow the pressure of the cooker to come down by itself.
Open the lid of the cooker and add Chopped Coriander Leaves. Mix it. Jeera Rice is ready to be served.
Take it out in a plate and serve it hot by garnishing with Coriander Leaves. Serve it with your favourite Curry Recipes.
