Rice and lentil curry

For Rice

What you need

Rosematta rice: 2cup

Water: 10 cup

How I made

In a pressure cooker wash and add rice along with 10 cup of water, it is better use to pan inside the pressure cooker and cook for about for 7 whistles or about 30 minutes and then letting the pressure cool down for 15. Once the pressure is released remove the cover and drain all the content into colander and drain the excess water. If you wish you can add some cold water into colander to prevent further cooking.

Enjoy as much you wish.
