This is made in pressure cooker but still each grain is looking so fluffy...looks so good.
ReplyDeleteI never thought it was this simple. Tastes great.
ReplyDeleteAfter 1st whistle I shifted into near medium and waited for 2nd whistle (which took almost 4 mins) and rested the cooker to cool. The outcome is amazing and delicious.
Thanks for the recipe.
