Instructions

Rinse rice 2 to 3 times under cold running water until the water runs completely clear. Drain fully.
Add rinsed rice, water, salt, and ghee or oil to the Instant Pot inner pot. Give one gentle stir.
Lock the lid and turn the steam release valve to the Sealing position.
Press the Rice button. The machine automatically selects Low Pressure and sets the timer to 12 minutes.
When the beep sounds, do not open the lid. Allow 10 minutes of Natural Pressure Release (NPR), then turn valve to Venting.
Open the lid and fluff the rice gently with a fork from bottom to top. Serve immediately.
