Steps to Prepare

1. Cook Rice

  1. Fill the pressure cooker with 1 inch of water (drinking water).

  2. Take 1 aazhakku of rice and clean with drinking water. Once the water from the rice is no longer dirty, place the rice inside a container. The container should fit into the pressure cooker, and should be able to hold 4x the volume of the rice.

  3. Add the water to the rice.

  4. Close the container with a plate/lid.

  5. Close the pressure cooker and set it on the stove. Leave the flame on high.
  6. Wait for one hiss (~15 minutes) and switch off the flame. Allow the pressure cooker to sit for another 10 minutes (with the flame off).
  7. Lift the weight a few times (carefully). Once steam no longer comes out of the nozzle when the weight is lifted, the pressure cooker can be opened.
