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.

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.
