Namkin Rice, also known as “Tadka Pulao” or “Tempered Rice,” is a flavorful Indian rice dish cooked with a tempering of aromatic spices. This dish involves sautéing basmati rice with a mix of whole spices like cumin seeds, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaves, enhancing its fragrance. The rice is then cooked in water or broth until fluffy and tender. Its mild yet savory taste, infused with the aromatic blend of spices, makes Namkin Rice a versatile and delightful accompaniment to various curries or enjoyed on its own as a comforting and flavorful meal.
