Notes

You can also do it in pressure cooker or rice cooker.If u do it in pressure cooker follow the same procedure, but while putting in low flame put the weight,see to it that the whistle is not coming.

In case of rice cooker add extra 1/2 cup water.

If you are using the rice without soaking add 2:2 ratio water (that is for 2 cup rice add 2 cup water).
