• Indian Basmati Rice – Basmati rice is a long-grain rice that goes perfectly well with almost any main dish, and it's the heart and soul of this recipe.
• Water – Helps cook the rice. Don't skip it!
• Sea salt – Helps flavor the rice, as its sole seasoning ingredient. Also, we usually prefer sea salt due to its many benefits.
• Coconut oil – An aid to keep the rice from sticking to the instant pot. It also adds a nice additional flavor and it's great for cooking at high temperatures, and very healthy as well.
