Vegetable Rice in Instant Pot | Ponni Rice recipes in Instant Pot | How to cook Vegetable Rice in IP

Have already shared recipe of Mushroom Rice that I prepared using Instant Pot here. I used Basmati Rice while making that Mushroom rice however this is the first time I tried using Ponni ParBoiled Rice (சாப்பாடு புழுங்கல் அரிசி) in Instant Pot and thankfully the time settings worked perfectly..Though the in the picture the rice looked a bit undercooked it the texture was perfect in real time.. Me and Shiva both love fluffy (read உதிரி உதிரி 😬) rice so the texture wasn’t an issue. However if you prefer your rice to cook even more then increase the timer settings based on your preference.
I have made Vegetable Rice using Basmati Rice too and it took around 5 minutes in ‘Pressure Cook’ setting and this Ponni Rice took 12 minutes. I used ‘Double Horse’ brand Ponni rice.Also I didn’t have onions at home that when I made this so not including it in the ingredient section..Please add an onion if you have 🙂
