Add rice and fry for a minute. Now add 4 cups of boiling water and salt . Close the lid and cook for 1 whistle . Open the pressure cooker after 10 minutes and spread the rice in thin layers so that lump does not form.

The recipe looks tempting & yummy. I'm very sure it is delicious.
Also my cousin Shobana used to grind the tomatoes & onions before adding it to the pan. That variation also tastes good. Because her sons are very picky on what they eat, so she literally has to grind or puree anything veggies for lunch box 🙂
