Instant Pot Basmati Rice with Butter and Garlic
Description
Instant Pot Basmati Rice with Butter and Garlic involves combining rinsed basmati rice with seasonings like garlic and onion powder, salt, butter, and chicken broth or water inside an Instant Pot. The rice is pressure cooked on high for a short time, then allowed to release pressure naturally before fluffing.
The use of pre-seasoned broth and butter adds depth to the rice’s flavor profile, complementing the naturally aromatic basmati variety. Pressure cooking yields evenly cooked grains with a tender yet separate texture.
This rice works well as a base for dishes needing flavorful, fluffy rice without the need for stove-top attention. It can accompany a range of main courses and benefit from the simplicity of the Instant Pot method.
Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice rinsed
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1 cup chicken broth or water
Instructions
- To the Instant Pot, add the rinsed basmati rice, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, unsalted butter, and chicken broth.
- Place the lid on and seal it. Set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 5 minutes.
- When done, natural pressure release for 5 minutes and then quick release. Fluff before serving.
