Instant Pot Kerala Matta Rice
While Kerala Matta rice is traditionally known for its lengthy cooking time, you can now prepare this plump, nutty parboiled rice quickly and effortlessly using an instant pot!
Ingredients
- 1 cup red matta rice
- 2 cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Soak the matta rice in cold water for 10 minutes. Drain, rinse well and set aside.
- Add the rice, water and salt to the pot and mix well.
- Secure the lid, close the pressure valve and cook for 10 minutes at high pressure.
- Naturally release pressure for 10 minutes, then open the valve to release any remaining pressure.
- Drain any water from the pot (there may not be any) and then give the rice a quick rinse to remove excess starch (you don’t have to do this, but I do).
- Serve with a tasty curry.
Notes
Technically, you can use more water than I suggest cooking the rice since you’re going to drain/rinse it off at the end anyway, however I suggest using 2 cups of water because that way the Instant Pot doesn’t take too long to reach pressure. The more contents in the pot, the longer it will take to reach pressure.
