Notes

  • To prepare the Tomato Rice in a pressure cooker, simply cook the tomato rice as normal in the pot of the pressure cooker with the lid uncovered up until where you add the rice and the water. After mixing and bringing to the boil, you cover the pressure cooker and add the whistle.
  • Cook for about 10-12 mins (approximately 2 whistles). If you want your rice to be slightly softer then cook for a further 4 to five mins. Remove from the heat, let the pressure reduce down and open the lid and serve.
