Matta Rice

Many of you would be skeptical about this recipe. Come on, even a child knows how to cook rice. But, let me tell you, getting the perfect texture is not that easy. It shouldnt be undercooked or overcooked and smashy. So here is a simple way by which it can be cooked on a pressure cooker. I use the same quantity of rice and water when i cook it in my fridgidaire rice cooker too. Only difference is that there wont be any excess water. Rice can be served directly from the rice cooker after being cooked. Here is my pressure cooked rice!

Ingredients

1.5 cups Palakkadan Matta rice
12 cups water

Method

Take the measured rice in the pressure cooker and wash it,rubbing the grains,until the water turns clear,about 4-5 times. Add the 12 cups of water and keep the cooker on the stove. Turn on the heat to low,cover the cooker and wait for the steam. It will take anywhere between 5-6 minutes. Place the weight and cook the rice on low heat for 1 whistle. Turn off the heat and let pressure go down on it's own. Open and use as needed. There will be plenty of water after cooking,which can be drained off.
