3 Seed Rice
- Sesame. (essential fats)
- Flax. (omega 3 & 6)
- Cumin. (Iron)
3 aromatic seeds with amazing nutritional values. All in a one pot meal. Come on, thank me for this! 😉
The rice is really simple. You can make it on days when you have elaborate stews but don’t wanna eat plain rice. Or if you crave Jeera Rice, why not make this instead and amplify your nutritional intake?

Add all the 3 seeds – sesame, cumin & flax seeds
Mix well & sauté for 1 minute.
Add the rice and mix well.
Add water and mix well.
Add salt to taste.
Let that come to a boil.
Close with a lid, reduce to a simmer & cook for 15-20 minutes or until rice is well cooked.
Fluff up with 2 forks to distribute seeds evenly.
