Tips:
1. To prepare rice in pressure cooker add 1 cup rice to 2 cups water and cook on high without weight.When high pressure comes lower the flame to low and cook rice with weight on for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and wait till pressure goes. Then open the lid and fluff the rice.You can add a pinch of salt and 1/2 a spoon of ghee or oil while cooking to avoid rice from sticking together.
