Fried rice. We cook fried rice in two ways.
1) Fry the vegetables and add washed rice to it and then add water and boil
or
2) Boil the rice and then add the rice to an open pan where the vegetables have been cooked.
I cook it in a different way. It saves fuel and time.
Ever since my childhood, I was told to add 2 cups of water to one cup of rice. This 1:2 rice:water ratio is the norm.
But for fried rice to be as good in the pressure cooker, use 1:1.5 ratio.
Take 1 cup of rice and wash it. Keep it aside.
Fry the vegetables in a pressure cooker.
Add the washed rice and stir.
When everything has been mixed well, add 1+1/2 cups of water. Put the lid on and wait for the whistle.
The reason for lessening the quantity of water is that the rice has already soaked in sufficient water when it was kept aside and also been cooked a little while frying.
