FAQ
The ratio of basmati rice to cooking liquid (water or broth) is 1 cup of rice to 1 ½ cups of liquid. Any more or less will affect the texture of the rice. Use a non-stick pot. To avoid any potential issues of rice sticking to the bottom of your pot, just use a non-stick pot.
How do I fix Instant Pot rice that is too sticky?
- Add More Water: If the rice is already cooked and too sticky, add a bit more water or broth to the Instant Pot. ...
- Fluff with a Fork: After the rice is cooked, let it sit with the lid on for a few minutes, then fluff it with a fork.
If your appliance does not specify a basmati rice ratio, a good rule of thumb is 1:1.5. So, for example, if you have a 1 cup of rice, you will add a 1 1/2 cup of water to the rice cooker.
1:1 – While you generally use 1 cup rice to 1 ¼ cups water for stovetop rice, in the Instant Pot, that ratio drops down to 1:1, aka 1 cup of water for every one cup of rice.
Wash the rice under cold water using a sieve or colander, or rinse in a saucepan until the water runs clear. This vital step prior to cooking removes any excess starch, giving you more separate, fluffy grains, while bringing out the basmati's wonderful flavour.
