I used Basmati Rice but any rice can be used. Cooking time may vary depending on the type of rice used.
Vegans use Oil instead of ghee.

Gluey and bland. I think it needs more veg to rice ratio but i’m not foing to make it again

I think is to much water, for how many time using brown rice?
Very tasty! I made it with brown rice and only 1 cup of water. I added 1 spoon of vinegar. That helps to keep the pot clean when using little water. After cooking you won’t taste the vinegar in the food. I didn’t use the Rice Cook button but chose Manual High Pressure 18 minutes and Quick Release. The result was not too wet. I guess when you use white rice you need 3/4 cup water and can use the Rice Cook button or Manual High Pressure 8-10 minutes Quick Release. I will definitely cook this again
