I have tried this recipe twice and although it tastes great using the stated measures, the ninja gives a low water warning as soon as the pressure is reached, so I have turned the machine off and left the pressure to release naturally. Tonight I added 3 cups of stock to 2 cups of rice and used low pressure for 10 minutes releasing naturally. Perfect!

Don't let your dough sit out this long. See how floppy it appears? That would be the butter melting out of it. Keeping your dough cool in between steps will give it a fuller body and it won't look like burnt paper when you're finished.
Hi Adam, I would say it's best to caramelise when cooking. In this case the onions were pre cooked to save time, and not caramelised. So when you go back to portions of this base you just need to brown it off before adding the spices. (This step will only take a few minutes as the onions are already cooked)
