Seeraga Samba rice, also called Jeeraga Samba or Jeera rice, is a traditional aromatic rice variety native to South India, especially cherished in Tamil Nadu. Its name comes from the small, oval grains that resemble cumin seeds (seeragam or jeera). Renowned for its unique fragrance, delicate texture, and ability to stay fluffy after cooking, this rice is a preferred choice for preparing flavorful dishes like biryani and pulao.
