Instant Pot Basmati Rice 

Just saw this video (I know it's old). I've been stumbling around trying to make decent rice in the Instant Pot but it either comes out overcooked or undercooked. I tried your way and it came out perfect! I'll never make it any other way again! Thank you for posting this.

This is a great video! I've tried making rice in my Instant Pot, and it never turns out good. Either too mushy or too sticky and lumpy. YUKKK! I like my rice to be fluffy and to separate easily. When I saw your video and you cooked the rice in a little oil, I knew this would work. When I make soup with fideo, I always lightly brown it first, so it doesn't get mushy when cooking in the soup. I made chicken tikka masala for dinner and used your rice procedure in my Instant Pot. Girl.....it was cooked just right and so delicious! My husband ate a little bowl of rice by itself and loved it. This is the first time in 3½ years that the rice cooked perfect. I am so glad I ran across your recipe and thank you so much for sharing. 👍👍

1 cup of rice to 1.25 cup of water wash the rice tbsp of olive oil (or ghee?) add rice and mix with the oil 1-2tsp of salt add hot/warm water after mixing set vent to seal mode manual high pressure for 7 minutes

Finally great Basmati rice in my Zavor brand PC. Just the right level of tenderness, not soupy or undercooked. It's wonderful Thank you Iman. Times for me to Subscribe

I've made this 3 times.I add turmeric,cumin and sultanas and it's been perfect every time. Thank you.

tried many basmati rice cooking method this one was perfection my rice was 10/10 i'm very happy. thank you!!!!!!!

Finally, a recipe that turns out perfect rice

did it exactly how you did it, came out great. thanks!

"until the water runs clear". Which is never. I wish cooks would stop saying that.

Thanks for showing how you cook basmati rice. There are so many videos out there for IP basmati rice, and yours looks the most like the way I like mine. Thanks again.

Absolutely perfect. I had tried one other Basmati recipe video from an Indian author that used the 1 to 1 ratio of rice and water and the rice was hard. This was much better - I did use Ghee instead of oil. So tasty! Thank you! Haven't looked at your channel yet. Hoping you will have recipes for different IP preparation of different types of rice.

Spot on recipe! Tried making rice first time in the pot and so glad found the best recipe. Will always be making them this way I.A. God Bless and thank you!

Jazakillahu khairan, Iman! I finally tried your method and it’s lovely! 😘

I'm literally tempted to buy the Instant Pot just because of your posts lol. It seems like a great gadget to have and saves you using so many pots and pans etc. I think i will be getting one in shaa Allaah. JazakiAllaah khayran for sharing hun xx

I also uses basmati rice.. and this is completely new way to cook for me.l will try this recipe

it looks perfect, thank you ! Will try it tomorrow

Thanks babe, great vid, way better than all the others out there that just make it all about themselves instead of just showing the food. That rice looked good at the end after I drink this vodka Im gonna make some I swear just gotta pay my power bill and shit

Very good thank you! For 1 cup of rice, I did 6 minutes and it was excellent.

Thanks for a great video. I have tried them all appertaining to I.P. But this one suits me best. Not soggey just right !!! They say you can't teach old dogs new tricks. I've been married for 57 years done a lot of cooking and am 80. LOL. Thanks once again. Frizzy

Wow really helpful and easy way of cooking pot rice... Thanks for sharing....

1st rice video explained thourly. thank you!👌🥰

Nice method.Thanks for sharing.

I'm going to try this method...your rice looks absolutely perfect !

I just made what is quite possibly the best pot of rice of my lifetime following this recipe. Absolutely idiot proof if you follow the directions!

Thank for sharing! How many times do you think you rinse the rice first? Do you agitate the water and/or let it sit for a while before rinsing it?

Thanks!

Thank you for the video, very handy!

Considering I burn all rice, I think this is a vital RU-vid video for me! Thanks a lot

Thank for the help!!!!

Please make kabuli pallaw with pressure cooker- I have the long recipe from utube but ain’t nobody got time to soak the rice like the proper recipe requires 😀

Thanks for sharing this! I have been thinking about whether to buy the Insta Pot or not. I use a pressure cooker for pretty much all of my cooking, so was wondering if the Insta Pot would be a good switch. What do you suggest?

When making brown rice or regular white rice even, must you always use the slow release method for the pressure or can you use the quick release like it's done in this video?

wow, i love instant pot

Awesome!

Made my day

Everytime I hear you talking about the insta pot I get tempted to buy it!

THANKSSSS!!!!

Just need to see how you set up the cooker. What buttons to press. Otherwise thank you

I also use Himalayan salt. Love it. However I use the ratio 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water!

Wow....that's an really easy way to make basmati rice...I too sometimes use pressure cooker to make rice...

Is it the same time of seven minutes if you’re making 4 cups of rice

Is there a way to make tahdig with instant pot?

After cooking perfect rice following your instructions, the door bell rings. - visitors!!! - what do I do, leave it in Instant Pot on warm function - will it become dry or soggy if kept too long in this state. Your personal experience would be most welcome. Janet

HELP - Please clarify the measurements. At 2:57 I heard you say 2 1/4 cups water but at 3:44 I heard you say 2 1/2 cups water. Please tell me which it is. Thank you so much!

Does removing the starch make it healthier? I was just wondering what's the purpose of rinsing off the starch.

What type oildid you use?

what's the point of all this if you use added aroun 20g of oil??? With oil I can achieve same thing in normal saucepan. also when you cook such a little amount as 2 cups - then it is much easier to get separated grains.. I would love to see how would you achieve that without oil and by cooking for example 700g of rice (uncooked weight)

Hi, every time I make rice it seems to come out all sticky even Basmati in my instant pot. What am I doing wrong? I do equal water with rice and cook on manual pressure high for 6-8 mins and let the pressure decrease naturally. If anyone knows or has tips? I'd appreciate it.

There is a rice cooker on the IP right isn't that less fluffing about then cooking with the pressure cooker option ? just curious to know why the pressure cooker instead of the ricer cook of course I totally get the time fact part. Ps I'm afraid of the pressure cooker and it exploding in my face so don't use it on my ip lol😥

I'm gonna try this in my IP on the weekend. I've had my IP since last November and I'm still too afraid to use it. 😳

She said she is cooking 2 cup of rice. So she needs 3 cups of water right?

You never said how long you cooked it for!

did not turn out for me

Assalaamu alaikum my dear! I would love so much if you’d add this recipe written out on your website, please! Jazakillahu khairan!

Hello dear I think water quantity is not correct I been cooking more than your 25 yrs it looks under cook water should be increased to I CUP RICE TO I.70 CUP water and you ll see its fluffy and very swollen brigte looking rice its my opinion west is up to the person who wants under cooked or welldon . . don't take personal it's my experience with basmati rice or any INDIAN rice . we cook your type of rice for BIRYANI 'S. because we have to put on dum on chicken or meat or any thing you wish to.than it'll be perfect .

I like the video but hate unclear instructions like "a little bit of oil and some salt"... How much is a "little bit"? That doesn't help us at all, an actual measurement would be appreciated. Also, what kind of oil? There are A LOT of different kinds of oils.
