- When the pressure indicator pin rises, turn the heat down to low and cook for 5 minutes.
- Release the pressure in the cooker rapidly (as per the instructions of your pressure cooker).
- Open the lid and scoop up the water with a ladle and pour it back in. Continue this step a few times to make sure the colour comes out later in the rice.
