Do Desis use a Rice cooker???

[poppies]

@TabuB

ive never cooked any other rice except boiled white rice..i didnt think you could cook biryani in it…can u?

Also ensure one more thing, soak the rice in cold water for about 15-20 minutes before you put into rice cooker, it makes it softer…and wash rice well to take off the starch…

I added 1 cup rice and inside the inner bowl the first mark said 2…so i filled it up with water up till then..its trial and error really and that worked for me..so shud work for you

…thanks hun- I also need to soak my rice as u said but I think like ure saying- it should be double the amount of water just like my mum used to cook .. u are right- it is trial and error…looks like Ill be overdosing on Rice the next few weeks!!!:)!!! Thanks :k:

i know a desi using rice cooker coz she got it for free with a TV…she later returened the TV but kept the cooker [probably, the store ppl forgot to ask the rice cooker back] she didn’t read the instruction so she is using it as a “pressure cooker” and waits for the whistle for hours…she can’t return it…too bad haha hahaha hahaha

…hmmmm…pressure cooker eh???..i know you can steam things in a rice cooker but didnt think you could use it as a pressure cooker!!!..let me try cooking rice and if all else fails…I may have a possible pressure cooker ready at home!…but I remember my ammis- pressure cookers are heavy big things:cb:!!!…thanks Hashmat sahib ji…as a GUPPA offering advice- Im pretty touched !!!
