Notes
For pressure cooking:
1. Do not pressure cook on high flame or low flame. Rice gets burnt at the bottom if pressure cooked on high flame.
2 If you are making 2 cups of rice, then add 3.5 cups of water and pressure cook.
For normal and slow cooking in vessel:
1. Take the rice and water proportion in such a way that is if rice is 1 cup, water quantity should be of 2 cups.
2. Instead of pressure cooking, we can even cook in slow cooking method, that is after adding water and rice, cook the pulao until rice is cooked completely in a vessel. We can add vegetables of our own choice and additional veggies like paneer cubes and cauliflower florets.
