Notes
- If you have an Instant pot, we can first keep it in sauté mode, start with the tempering and proceed with the method till Step5. After adding water, we cancel the sauté mode and start the manual or pressure cook mode and cook for 4 mins in high pressure. Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 mins and then force release the pressure carefully. In instant pot or rice cooker, we will surely get more fluffy rice
- We can make the same rice in pressure cooker. Follow the instructions till step 5 till the water starts to boil and then close the cooker with the lid without putting a whistle. Cover the whistle spot with a tumbler and cook in low flame for 10 mins.
- Ghee gives a nice flavor but if we can use cooking oil.
