Add rice and dal, 1 1/2 cup of water and needed salt.

Taste the water to check if the salt added is perfect. If it is slightly salty, it will be perfect once the rice is cooked.

Pressure cook rice for 3 whistles, once the pressure subsides, open the cooker, mix the contents, add a tsp of ghee and garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves (Rice should not be mushy).


Serve hot with chips or potato curry or even tomato chutney or appalam.

    Hi Padhu, should we add rice as soon as we add tomatoes and spice powders, (or) let the tomatoes cook fully and then add the rice?
