I love the flavour and texture of brown basmati rice but it takes around 45 mins to cook in stove top. So I was looking for an quick way to cook it and this brown basmati rice in Instant pot is a life saver. Just dump everything inside Instant pot and you are done.

Difference between brown basmati rice and white basmati rice:

• Brown basmati rice is chewier when compared to white basmati rice
• Brown basmati rice needs more water and time to cook than white basmati rice.
• The flavour of brown basmati rice is different.

And I am really not sure which is more healthy so I opt to choose brown basmati occassionally.

Soaking of brown basmati rice:

• If you prefer or have time to soak then soak rice in water for 20-30 mins and cook for 20 mins in pressure cook high mode.
• I usally don’t soak and cook it for 25 mins and its perfect. Also depends on the variety of basmati rice.

Serving and Storing:

• You can serve rice with Sambar another South Indian staple or any vegetable curry or meat based curries.
• You can even make variety rice like lemon rice, coconut rice, tomato rice, tamarind rice with cooked rice.
• Though I always prefer making a fresh batch everyday you can refrigerate cooked rice for 2-3 days in fridge. I usually keep cooked rice inside a vessel, sprinkle little water and keep in Instant pot pressure cook mode for 2-3 mins in low for warming up.
