[@gillweber7930]

Dear Gita, greetings from Australia! Thank you so much for these 3 methods of cooking rice. I've stopped using my rice cooker (lazy!) n now cook on the stove-top. We eat basmati rice and I use the first digit of my middle finger, above the rice, to guage the quantity of water required. This method works well. Dear Gita, I have a couple of pressure cookers but they don't "whistle" like the Indian ones so I've gone out to my favourite Indian Gourmet store n bought one that whistles, 4.1lt capacity. It's going to be wonderful for my Indian cooking and I'm excited! I would like to cook dhal n rice in this whistling pressure cooker (Prestige) n haven't a clue...is it possible to cook a small quantity of both without blowing up the jolly thing? HELP please🤔 Gratefully, Gill

[@GitasKitchen]

Thanks a lot Gill. Please remember that basmati rice takes much less water. A proportion of 1: 11/2 would be fine. Generally I use Sona Masoori rice at home, which takes 1:3 waters please adjust accordingly

[@GitasKitchen]

Oh yes that first digit method!!! Incredible how it is common across continents!We all do it too.

[@Anione111]

Hi. I'm sure you must have figured out cooking dal and rice at the same time in the pressure cooker by now. Your question to Gita regarding this was not answered. I can help if you still have not figured it out.

[@ushasunil5916]

It would be useful to how much time it took to cook in 2nd and 3rd method. Also if you could have shown how it looks in intermediary stages of the 2nd and 3rd method. Because it’s never that you open and it’s done.

Mam, what was the time taken for 3rd method? Can we use 3 glass of water for 1 glass of rice for ponni rice also?

[@GitasKitchen]

Yes you can. around 40 mins

[@nikolai9709]

Please answer my question. how can you test the doneness of basmati rice just by pressing with your finger? I mean, some raw undercook rice can also easily break just by pressing it. so its really confusing..

[@GitasKitchen]

It should press with minimum effort, comes with practise!

[@jyotikrishnamohan2744]

Can you please make a video on different types of rice? Sona Masuri, Parboiled Rice, Basmati, Ponni, Matta Rice, Brown Rice, old rice, new rice? It will be very helpful for those who are cooking this year, for the first time. I get so confused when the rice vendor asks me which rice! So types of rice, how much time each type take to cook, how much quantity of water to be used to cook without pressure cooker. If you can make a video on this, it will be extremely helpful.

Thank you. I wonder why you feel so. In fact rice cookers have been in use in my kitchen for many long years.
