I'm Indian and wondering how to cook it. I've never cooked them before. Do I cook it like soft lentils? I cook soft lentils like this way.
1) 1:5 lentil to water ratio (after being soaked for some time).
2) Put it in pressure cooker, add salt and wait for 3 whistles.
What else do I need to do...
It depends on rice and the way you're going to cook it guys water:rice ratio. the new rice we got now has recommened rice:water=1:1.5 and asked to cook in mild flame. Thank you for pilaf though. I'm going to enjoy it whenever I'm alone at home. How much frying is necessary in pilaf though? Any...
but I cook really good with 1:1 ratio of water:rice. It'd be too "soft" if I add 2x water. I'm using Indian rice for your information. Not sure if that's basmati, but it's commonly used rice here.
Adding butter at the end won't be that good imo. I'm not sure how people cook it in pressure cooker. If I add ghee/butter along with water+rice+butter at first before heating, I think that'd be not great and require tons of ghee.
This is my procedure to cook rice.
1:1 ratio of water and rice. Soak for some time. Put in pressure cooker. And cook till 2 whistles.
When do I add ghee/butter here? I'm really confused.
