Indian Yellow Rice (Instant Pot)
I absolutely love using my Instant Pot for making rice. It takes only 4 minutes of time if pressure cooking and requires minimal clean up. The sauté function works better then my stove top. I was very skeptical about getting one, but heard nothing but great reviews. I highly recommend making an investment into an Instant Pot.This rice is a very simple one pot side dish that takes no time. Just a few minutes of sautéing the ingredients, then 4 minutes under the pressure cooker function. That’s it. Perfect rice every time. Better then any rice steamer I’ve used.
