poonam in India you can easily get a good brand of pressure cooker and separator pans from any stainless steel utensil dealer or supermarkets. It is also available online.Have a look at amazon.

Gita's Kitchen thank you very much for the prompt reply

you can soak the dal for 30 mins before cooking

7.5 l cooker

You are most welcome

Heena if your cooker is new, try pressing down with a cloth on one side of the lid and then slowly turn the handles together

I tried the way u taught...made dishes were perfect cooked

This is 7.5 l pressure cooker Butterfly brand, quite an old one though

@@GitasKitchen Dear Madam: Thank you for sharing this video. I wish to ask you for your recommendation of pressure cooker capacity for my cooking requirements mentioned below: (1) I need to cook mostly for 1 person. However, I need to be able to cook for 4 people when friends come over (which happens very rarely), (2) I wish to be able to cook rice, dal, and vegetables in one go using separators as you have shown in this video, (3) I wish to be able to cook idlis using an idli stand (4 plates of 4 idlis each) in the same cooker. That is, I want my pressure cooker to be wide enough and tall enough to fit the separator pans and the idli stand comfortably without it being a very tight fit. Could you kindly recommend me a suitable capacity for my pressure cooker purchase? I'm not in a position to go to a Prestige showroom during this lockdown. I'm asking this so that I could order online and not regret my purchase. Thank you.

Welcome 😊

Yes you can

you can use without it also

Channa Dal usually takes more time to cook. you can try soaking it for half an hour before cooking or cook for more time/whistles.

It will be available in any shop which sells steel utensils or cookers. You can also buy it online as separator pans for pressure cooker

Thanks Juli

Please see my videos on Rice cooker recipes

I use Premier brand. i find it easier to cook based on whistles.

if you are cooking only vegetables then one whistle is enough

It depends on the rice used. If it is long grain/basmati rice then 1:11/2 water is good. For Sona masoori you can use up to 21/2 cups

Keep a large enough separator for the rice. There should be some space above the water level of rice as it will increase in volume
