Notes

  • If you see some water after pressure cooking, the grains rest and they will soak the water. If there is still water, set the IP to the sauté mode and dry out the water while stirring continuously.
  • If you want to make it a vegan dessert, replace ghee with coconut oil. You may also add a tablespoon of freshly grated coconut while sautéing.
