Pressure Cooker Ghee Rice
Pressure Cooker Ghee Rice
Making rice in a Pressure Cooker, is not only easy, it is lightening fast. Whether you use a sauce pan on the stove or your favorite Rice Maker, you are going to be waiting about 20 minutes for white rice. Imagine making White Rice in your Pressure Cooker in just minutes!
Pressure Cooker Ghee Rice is so easy and without any fuss or standing over the stove!
Cast of Ingredients for Pressure Cooker Ghee Rice
It’s really simple. Rice, Pressure/Slow Cooker Simple Ghee, Salt and Pressure Cooker Bone Broth, or water! Make sure you use equal amounts of rice and liquid! A “rice cup” is just 6 oz, so measure accordingly.
A coffee cup can be any size, right? You would not use your favorite coffee cup to measure and assume it is a standard 8 oz dry or wet measuring cup.
The coffee cup I use in the morning holds 10 oz of liquid. Okay, so, now you now. A “rice” cup is just that…a vessel for measuring rice.
If you want to cook your rice at the same time and in the same pot as your meal, check our my Pressure Cooker Perfectly Cooked Pot in Pot Rice for the recipe and timing.
Place rice in rinsing basket
Place your rice in a Steamer/Rinsing Basket and rinse under cool water, until the water runs clear. Use Jasmine Rice or your favorite White Rice.
If you want to use Brown Rice, you will need to increase the water and the cook time.
Rinsed Rice
I use this RSVP Stainless Steel Mesh Basket when making Pressure Cooker Ghee Rice, so that I can heat my Pressure Cooker while the rice is draining.
Plus, this Steamer Basket, does double duty, so no need to buy a Proper Rice Rinsing Basket and worry about having one more accessory, unless of course, you have the room!
Sauté the Ghee in the Pressure Cooker Cooking Pot
It is always important to get your Pressure Cooker cooking pot really hot before adding your fat.
This will help to make a Stainless Steel Pot, non-stick!
Once the pot heats up, add in some Ghee. If you would like to make your own, Homemade Pressure/Slow Cooker Simple Ghee, check out my super simple recipe.
Toast the Rice in Hot, Yummy Ghee
To add a delicious depth of flavor, add the rice to the hot Ghee in the Pressure Cooker cooking pot. Ghee is really great to use a higher temperatures and won’t start to burn like butter.
Butter is not good to use with higher temperatures.
It’s why you will see that Olive Oil is used in combination with Butter to get a nice flavor.
Ghee on the other hand, can be used alone to stir fry, since it can take the heat better.
Using a Spatula, mix the rice around the cooking pot to toast the rice in the Ghee for a few minutes.
Add in the Rest of the Ghee Rice Ingredients
Use a Low Sodium Chicken or Vegetable Broth or even Fresh Water, if you prefer a purer Rice flavor.
You might be pairing this Pressure Cooker Ghee Rice with my Pressure Cooker Indian Butter Chicken recipe and want to make sure the yummy flavors of the Butter Chicken, will come through when you pour the Sauce onto your Ghee Rice.
If you have some Homemade Pressure Cooker Stock/Broth that would be even more delicious. Any flavor of Stock is fine to use.

PIN this Pressure Cooker Ghee Rice {White, Jasmine, Basmati}!
Pressure Cooker Ghee Rice (White, Jasmine, Basmati)
I have a question please. The recipe says to use 12 ounces of rice and 16 ounces of liquid. But in the instructions above the recipe, it says to use the same amount of rice and liquid. Can you please clarify? Thanks.
This rice came out perfect ! I did use unsalted Kerrygold butter instead of ghee and it was fine . I save my ghee to pop popcorn in ! It’s ridiculous how easy this rice was to make . I served it as Red Beans and Rice that I made in my Dutch Oven. The bean part took about 2 hours ! Thank you Jill for this recipe! It is definitely going to be my go to rice recipe! My husband said that it was the best rice ever !
Hi Diane~
I am so glad you enjoyed the rice. Kerrygold is wonderful. Ghee on popcorn is divine. Jill
I will be making your Kerrygold ghee soon . Kerrygold butter is the best butter ! ?
Is the two cups of bone broth two cups the size of the rice cups or two cups as in real measuring cup volume?
Okay, I made it with two “rice cups” of broth and two “rice cups” of basmati rice. I let it NR longer because I had things to do. It was delicious even though I put too much ghee, I eyeballed it instead of really measuring. Next time I will measure.
I have a Zojiruchi rice cooker too that I’m not ready to give it up yet but I definitely cook rice in the IP more often than using any other method or cooker because it’s so convenient.
Hi Lola~
I’m not ready to give up my Zo either and I do use it for just plain rice. However, with my Zo, you can’t have additives or else ther is a problem, so I use my pressure cooker when I use additives and for Pot in Pot. My poor Zo, just sits there looking at me. 🙂

When using the term measuring cup, it refers to a volume measurement. When using the term “rice cup,” it refers to a measurement of rice, which is different than a standard measuring cup. When using the term “coffee cup,” it is just a cup that holds coffee and can be any size.

So after allowing the pressure to release it’s about the same amount of time if you’d done it on the stove.
Except there’s no babysitting and you can walk away
