What Types Of Dishes Are Best Made With Instant Pot Basmati Rice?
Basmati is rice that doesn’t get fatter as it cooks, it gets thinner and longer. It’s a long and skinny rice that contains the starch Amylose which doesn’t bind or stick together when you cook it. It’s perfect for rice dishes where you don’t want the rice sticking together.
Not only is basmati rice a great rice as a side dish for a meal, but it’s particularly good for a lot of Indian cuisine . It’s really good for recipes like my Basmati Rice Pilau or Chicken Biryani . This Indian peas and carrots pilau is a good idea as well.
But you would NOT want to use basmati to make a risotto or a rice pudding for example. Similarly, it is not suitable for Congees or other sticky rice recipes.
Can You Freeze Basmati Rice?
Yes, you absolutely can freeze Instant Pot Basmati Rice ! However, the sooner you freeze the rice after you’ve prepared it the better. Here’s how I do it:
- Cool . Let it cool to room temperature.
- Portion . Separate the rice to your preferred serving size.
- Pack . Place in a freezer-safe baggie , pushing as much air out as possible.
- Lay flat . Place the bags of rice in your freezer flat so they can defrost faster.
Once frozen, the rice should keep in the freezer for about a month. Any longer than that and the rice will begin to lose its flavor and moisture.
How Do I Reheat Basmati Rice?
Reheating Instant Pot Rice is as simple as adding a tablespoon of water per to the rice and reheating it in the microwave .
Microwaving time can vary depending on how much you’re reheating, so just reheat it in 30-60 intervals until it’s heated through.
Do I Need To Soak Before Cooking Basmati Rice?
That’s actually the great thing about Instant Pot Basmati Rice. There is no need to soak the rice before pressure cooking it .
The steam and the heat of the pressure cooker will help the rice grains cook up very well without any presoaking, even with congees and other rice that typically gets soaked.
Just a quick rinse to get rid of the excess starch and your Instapot rice is ready to cook.

Is Peanut Butter OK On A Keto Diet?
- Natural Peanut Butter. Not all peanut butter is made equally. That’s why I always suggest going for the more natural peanut butter options, especially when making recipes like this Keto Peanut Butter Cake. All-natural peanut butter is indeed a keto-friendly ingredient.
- Extra Sugar. Many kinds of peanut butter will have a lot of extra sugar or other unnecessary ingredients added. Natural peanut butter is lower-cajrb and better for you in general.
- High Fat. With all the fat and flavor in peanut butter , I find it very satisfying. Nuts are a great choice as a snack while following the keto lifestyle because of their natural oils and fats. This is the same thing with peanut butter since it’s made out of peanuts. It also has a great amount of protein as well as fiber. All of these aspects are perfect while following keto parameters .
