Wash rice in several changes of cold water in a bowl until water runs clear and drain well in a sieve.
Toast cumin seeds in oil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until a shade darker, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir rice into cumin. Stir in broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and cover pan, then simmer gently until rice is tender, 16 to 18 minutes.
Fluff rice with a fork and let stand, covered, off heat up to 10 minutes. When ready to serve, stir in scallions and cilantro.
