2) Add the ginger garlic paste and wait till it turns slightly brown
3) To this add the jeera and the bay leaf and wait till the jeera begins to pop
4) Add the diced onions and wait for them to turn brown
5) Add 4 cups of water & two spoons of salt and wait till the water begins to boil
6) Drain the water,the rice is soaked in and add 2 cups of rice to the boiling water
7) Cook for 25 minutes Your jeera pulav is ready when holes begin to appear at the surface of the rice and the water is completely absorbed

 Veg pulav can be made by the similar method.instead of using jeera you can use diced carrots,beans and peas.Make sure you boil the vegetables first:)
