Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Basmati rice
  • 1 /2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Rinse the twice before cooking it, discard the water.
  • In the inner pot, pour the rinsed rice, salt, and water, seal the lid of the pressure cooker.
  • Press “pressure cook” and set it on high pressure. Program for a cook time of 8 minutes and do not press anything else. The Instant Pot (IP) will beep to acknowledge the time selected and will start to build pressure. The 8 minutes will start then.
  • Once the 8 minutes are over, your IP will beep. Now, you can do a quick pressure release by pressing the quick-release button and the steam will come out of the valve. It is really hot, be careful.
  • It’s ready to serve!

Notes

Can it be made in advance? Yes, store your cooked rice for 4 to 5 days in the fridge or freeze it for later. I store mine for up to 6 months in the freezer. 
Can I make a big batch of rice? What is the ratio of water? Of course, it's a great idea if you like to cook ahead! Just use the rice and water ratio 1:1.
