Flax-seed rice

Step 1

Soak Rice in water for an hour. You may skip this step. If you don't soak the rice, use 1.25 cup water.

Step 2

Put the Instant Pot in Sauté Mode and add Ghee/Oil. Wait when it turns "Hot."

Step 3

When the pot turns "Hot," add Bay leaves, ground flax seeds, and cloves. Give a gentle stir and roast for two minutes. If you have roasted and ground flax seeds stored already, you may skip adding them at this stage.

Step 4

Add cumin seeds and when they sputter, rinse the water from soaked rice and add rice to the pot.

Step 5

Add water and salt to the pot.

Step 6

Close the lid in sealed mode. Adjust the setting to "Rice".

Step 7

Let the pressure release naturally. For cooking in a Pressure cooker on a stovetop, one whistle and natural pressure release will cook the rice fine.

Step 8

If you started with roasted ground flax seeds, please add them at this stage. If you added them in step 3 already, please skip this step.

Step 9

Add lemon juice to cooked rice and mix very gently probably with a fork first to ensure the texture stays. Serve hot.
