Why Jeera rice in Instant Pot

Most of the restaurants cook rice Al dente for Jeera pulao. My toddler finds it difficult to eat that texture so I prefer cooking rice in an instant pot or pressure cooker.

Should I use hot water for soaking?

No, always use room temperature water for soaking and never soak the rice for a long time. 5 minutes works best.

Why hot water for cooking?

I find pulav cooked in hot water comes fluffy with a perfect texture. I generally do Auto cutoff in the kettle. 

Can I cook jeera rice in the pressure cooker?

Yes follow the recipe and cook for one whistle. Adjust the water according to your basmati rice.

Notes

1. I have used basmati rice but you can variety of rice. Adjust the water accordingly
2.  Long Grain Basmati Rice is recommended for the best restaurant style fluffy rice
3. Always wash the rice well at least 3 to 4 times, until you see clear water
4. For Al dente cooking, prepare rice in an open pot
5. Avoid soaking the rice for a long time
6. Always use room temperature water to soak the rice. Avoid warm /hot water required.
7. If you prefer crunchy cashews, saute cashews and cumin seeds; keep aside and add them after cooking rice
8. You can star anise or any other whole spice of your choice
9. A few drops of sesame oil are optional but help for perfect texture
