METHOD
- Switch on the rice cooker and keep it in “cooking mode”.Let the plate get heated for few minutes.Then add oil and ghee together in the centre of the slotted plate.Oil & ghee will spread and moves all over the plate as it gets heated.
- Wash the basmati rice and set aside.I din’t soak it. U can soak for 20 minutes.Slice the onions and finely chop the tomatoes.Slit the chillies and peel the garlic.
- Now add all the items given under “to temper” in the same order.Mustard seeds won’t splutter. But it will sizzle.Roast the dals and jeera for few seconds.
- Then add the onions, green chillies, curry leaves and garlic cloves. Saute well. Add powdered salt for quick sautéing. Then add green peas and saute for few minutes.
- Lastly add the finely chopped tomatoes ,turmeric powder,red chilli powder and saute for 2 minutes till tomato turns mushy.Make sure the cooker is in cooking mode.If it goes to warm mode,switch to cooking mode.Finally add 3 cups of water , cover with the lid and allow it to roll boil.
- After the water starts to roll boil , add the rice without water.Check for salt and cover cook for sometime.Cooker will automatically switch to “Keep warm” mode.Open the lid and check whether rice is cooked well.If not add 1/2 cup of water, mix well and again switch it to “cooking” mode.
- After the rice is done,let it be in “Keep warm” mode for 30 minutes because rice will cook well and soft in warm mode. Garnish with coriander leaves.
Serve with raita and Enjoy ! |
Note
- I used 3.5 cups of water as my husband wants it slightly overcooked.U can use 3 cups and try.Keep this water quantity as reference and adjust as per ur liking.
- If u soak rice for more than a hour , u can use even lesser water,say 2.5 cups.
- For variations,U can add all the spices like cinnamon,cloves,bay leaf and elachi along with tempering ingredients.
- Adding green peas is optional.If u use dried peas,soak over night and add them.
- Check the mode of rice cooker every now and then.It may go to warm mode very soon.Switch the nob to “cook” mode whenever needed.Sometimes, it may not go to cooking mode when u try to change.At that time, switch off the rice cooker for a minute and again try changing the mode, it will work.
