Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups rice
1 3/4 cups water
Cardamom-1 pc
Note: serving 6 people
How to cook basmati rice:
Basmati rice can be cooked in a pot as well as in pressure cooker. here i am explaining in a both way.
In a pot:
- Pour the basmati irice in a bowl and fill it with water, enough to cover the rice by 1 to 2 inches. Use your fingers to swirl the rice around. The water will look very milky or cloudy after the first rinse. You are washing away excess starch in the rice so that it won’t clump up once cooked. Drain the water from the bowl.
- Repeat this cycle of washing the rice and draining the water four more times. The water should look quite clear during the last rinse. After the final rinse, drain the rice over a sieve or strainer.
- Transfer the rinsed rice to the Instant Pot. Pour 1 3/4 cups water over the rice and let the rice soak for 30 minutes. Add the cardamom here
- Fasten the lid and press the “RICE” button on the Instant Pot. This will set the Instant Pot to cook on low for 12 minutes.
- Once the timer goes off, let the rice rest in the “keep warm” function for 10 to 15 minutes. The pressure should release automatically after that time. If it doesn’t, manually release any residual pressure before opening the lid.
Fluff up the rice and serve.
