This post on how to cook brown rice is a long due for me. I got the brown price from the fair price shop here last month itself but somehow couldn't try it. As my mom always say, the auspicious time to cook that hasn't come yet . lol.!!. Finally i cooked it yesterday and wanted to post the recipe yesterday itself. But it was too busy yesterday and i couldn't sit and write a post on it. I made the brown rice in pressure cooker. As we Indians are highly dependent on pressure cookers, and without the whistle of it our mornings will never be complete.There are so many varieties of brown rice available in market and basically each one takes it own time to cook. I have used 2 varieties of brown rice so far and both were extremely different. So unlike normal white rice, i can't give exact measurement but few tips may give you an idea of how to cook brown rice. The water quantity i have given is for the brand i used. It consumed very less water whereas the one i used last time consumed more water.
