Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Add the rinsed rice, 1 1/4 cups of water, the butter, and salt to the Instant Pot.
- Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, set the valve to 'Sealing,' select the 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' setting, and set the time for 4 minutes at high pressure.
- After cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes.
- Carefully release any remaining pressure. Open the lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve.
