Add the chopped onions and green chillies and saute for 2-3 mins.

Once the onions are translucent, add ginger garlic paste and pattai sombu powder and saute well.The paste might start sticking to the cooker base, so saute well.

Once the mixture starts heating up, add the washed and soaked basmati rice into the cooker and mix well.

Add required crystal Salt and mix well.Increase the flame to medium.

Close the lid and let one whistle on a medium flame.(If normal rice is used instead of basmati, then whistles as per your experience)

Note 1: To get non sticky rice, wash the basmati rice 4 to 5 times.Also reduce the water measurement by 1/4th glass.

Note 3: Rice to water ratio is 1 :2 in any measurement cups.
