Indian-Style Basmati Rice (Instant Pot)
Indian-Style Basmati Rice (Instant Pot)
Here is another really simple Indian-style basmati rice recipe that goes great with curries and dal. Using the Instant Pot significantly cuts down on the cooking time. Sauté the whole spices for a minute, then the onions for 10 minutes, and the rice for 3 minutes. Pour in the water and set the function to Pressure Cook on high for 4 minutes. That’s it. Make sure to take out the whole spices before serving.
