Ingredients

Ratio is 1:3.5 (1 cup rice and 3.5 cups water)

  • 1/2 cup brown basmati rice
  • 1and 3/4 cups water

Instructions

  • To begin with first measure brown basmati rice. I measured 1/2 cup.
  • Rinse it well, drain and set aside.
  • Add it to the inner bowl. Add 1 and 3/4 cups of water. The ratio is 1(rice) : 3.5 (water).
  • I added directly to the pot. You can keep a vessel and cook too. You can add salt and oil if you want but I usually don't add.
  • Close lid.
  • Set pressure cook mode high for 25 mins.
  • Once the timer finishes, let pressure release manually. When you see the steel knob go down it is safe to open.
  • Open and your rice is done. Not mushy yet perfect grain seperated rice is ready.
  • Fluff it up. Serve it with curries or make variety rice using it.
  • Instant pot basmati rice is ready!
  • Serve hot! Finally rice is done.
  • Serve brown basmati rice with curries and veggies of your choice.

Notes

  • The timing and water may change depending on the variety of basmati rice so check for a smaller amount first then proceed.
  • If you prefer or have time to soak  then soak rice for 20-30 mins and cook for 20 mins in pressure cook high mode.
  • I usually don't soak and cook it for 25 mins and its perfect. Also depends on the variety of basmati rice.
