How to cook?
Cooking in an Instant Pot is super simple. It has a rice cooking button; however, I prefer to cook the rice pulao manually. This way, it takes less time, and rice grains come out perfectly. I cook my rice on high pressure for five minutes. Let the steam release naturally, and fluff the rice with a fork after removing the lid.
