Master Fluffy Rice: Chef Prateek's Secret to Perfect Pressure Cooker Grains
- •Chef Prateek shares a simple method to achieve restaurant-style fluffy, non-sticky rice at home using a pressure cooker.
- •Proper washing (2-3 times until water is clear) is crucial to remove starch, which causes stickiness.
- •Soaking rice for 15 minutes before cooking helps grains absorb water, preventing breakage and improving texture.
- •Adding a spoon of desi ghee and cumin (jeera) before cooking enhances flavor and prevents grains from sticking, mimicking Jeera Rice.
- •Use just enough water to barely submerge the rice; let the pressure cooker cool naturally after two whistles for perfectly set grains.
Why It Matters: Follow Chef Prateek's steps for washing, soaking, ghee, water, and natural cooling to make perfect, fluffy rice.
