Instructions
- Take 1/2 cup of basmati rice and rinse them in clear water twice or thrice. Then soak it in enough water for 20 to 30 minutes and set it aside.

- After that add 1 cup of water. Use water in double quantity i.e. if you take half a cup of rice then add 1 cup of water in it.
- Mix all of these ingredients well and close the cooker lid on medium heat wait for two whistles and after that turn off the flame.
- When the pressure comes down naturally open the cooker lid and the sweet rice is ready.
Notes
- Always soak the rice for 15 to 20 minutes to speed up the cooking process.
- For more rich and creamier taste the milk can be added instead of water.
- I add sugar to my taste which is the perfect ratio. But if you are a sweet toothed then more to your taste.
- If you don't want to add sugar then condensed milk is the good choice to give sweetness to your recipe.
