Step-by-Step: Veg Fried Rice in Pressure Cooker

Step 1: Heat Oil in Your Triply Cooker
Use a Triply pressure cooker from Omichef for the best results. Its triple-layered stainless steel body ensures even heat distribution, preventing the rice from burning or sticking. Add oil, cumin seeds, and let them splutter.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics
Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Toss in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute until the raw smell disappears.

Step 3: Add Veggies
Throw in the chopped vegetables and sauté for 2-3 minutes. The vibrant colors and light crunch of the veggies will elevate the dish.

Step 4: Mix Rice & Spices
Drain the soaked rice and add it to the cooker. Stir in black pepper, salt, and optional soy sauce. Mix everything gently.

Step 5: Add Water & Pressure Cook
Pour in 2 cups of water. Close the lid and pressure cook on medium flame for 1 whistle only. Then turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally.

Step 6: Fluff & Serve
Once the pressure settles, open the lid and gently fluff the rice with a fork. Your delicious veg fried rice in pressure cooker is ready to serve!
