Method: |
- Wash and soak rice till ready to use.
- Heat oil in a pressure cooker. Add sugar. Then add sliced onions with bay leaves. Keep stirring on a low flame till onions are brown. This is what will give the characteristic "brown" color to the brown rice. So make sure that it doesn't burn but is uniformly brown.
- Roast the spices and crush them using mortar and pestle. Make sure they are not powdered.
- Add crushed spices, turmeric powder, coriander-cumin seed powder and salt to the onions. Stir well.
- Drain rice and add to the pressure cooker. Add 4 cups warm water
- Increase the flame. Adjust salt. Bring to boil. As the water boils, close the lid of the pressure cooker. Put on the pressure. and reduce the flame. After 2 whistles, switch off the gas.
- When the pressure drops completely, open the lid. Fluff the rice with a fork. Serve with Parsi Daal or Dhansaak.
