i was given a rice cooker for my birthday, and its great. really saves me stressing over the rice cooking stage. does anyone know how to make pilau or lemon rice with a rice cooker ? ta

[matt3333]

I use my rice cooker for pillau rice as follows-
Wash the rice in several changes of water
Heat some ghee in a pan and add whole spices ,cardamon,cloves,bay leaves, cassia  and whatever else takes your fancy.
Add the rice and coat with ghee and stir fry for about 1min
Transfer to rice cooker add tumeric(optional) and salt to taste.
Press go and wait perfect rice every time ;D
