Notes
Optionally, add spices to taste, e.g. cinnamon stick, cardamom pods etc.
Rice will stick a bit – decant rice from the inner pot immediately, soak for 5-10 mins and wash clean.
For firmer rice make it 4 mins; for a little softer rice make it 6-7 mins – try and see what you like.
The total cook time does not include the time it takes for the Instant Pot to get to pressure. Plan for additional time.
