What ingredients do Pakistani Chefs use in Rice at the weddings?

Question

The rice in Pakistani weddings has a very distinct taste and flavor. The regular rice (chawal) we make at home doesnt. Does anyone know what that masala or ingredient is??

Answer 1

the main flavor comes from zeera. I know this because I make it at home after learning it from my very pakistani mother.

Sorry if you dont know, zeera is cumin seeds. other than that there is salt and sometimes adding green peas helps make the rice look colorful especially when cooking for guests.

Answer 2

JEERA PULAO:
