Instant Pot Basmati Rice

Instant Pot Basmati Rice

Instant Pot Basmati Rice is one of my favorite rice recipes. I use it about every day! It is the perfect side dish for most of my recipes and goes great with several dishes.

One of my favorite ways to use my Instant Pot is for rice. I recently donated my rice cooker because the Instant Pot took its place and its great appliances. I love great basmati rice. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but the Instant Pot gives a full proof rice dish every single time!

What is Basmati Rice?

Basmati is also naturally gluten-free, which is why I am always serving it to my family. As my oldest a gluten allergy.

It is long-grained rice from the Himalayas and is very popular in both Indian and South Asian Countries. When cooked, it comes out softer than Jasmine Rice.

If you have never had Basmati Rice, it is different than regular white rice. It contains more protein. They are processed the same way and contain roughly the same amount of Carbs and Fiber.

How To Cook Instant Pot Basmati Rice

You can get perfectly cooked Basmati Rice made in the Instant Pot. There are a few steps that need to be followed.

I rinse the rice to get some of the starch out, just add run the water until it’s clear, then add it to the Instant Pot. Add the rice to the Instant Pot, and then add some salt and pepper; if you want, add some garlic powder or salt.

How To Cook Brown Basmati Rice In the Instant Pot

If you want to cook Brown Basmati Rice, I usually increase the temperature to 22 minutes. Then do a quick release when the display says L10. 

It takes longer for the brown rice to cook in the Instant Pot because it has not been hulled, meaning it still has the shell on it.
