Hi Eric K.
I am the author of The Essential Indian Instant Pot Cookbook. This recipe has an error - It should be 1.5 cups of uncooked basmati rice and not 3 cups uncooked basmati rice. You can verify this in the book itself. Please correct so the recipe comes out perfect for everyone who tries it! Thank you.

I was just now trying to read the reviews and think I might have given this recipe one star. Please delete that for me, if I actually did it. Thanks! I'm interested in this recipe for sure

I think the ingredients list has an error. It says 3 cups of cooked rice but then the recipe gives instructions about how to cook the rice. Should it be 3 cups of uncooked rice or a different amount?

I agree, Ocean. I assume it should say 3 cups uncooked rice, since the typical recipe's ratio is 1:1 for white Basmati rice to water in an IP. That will yield a giant amount of cooked rice (6 cups) for 4 servings!

Thanks for catching! I've updated the recipe to account for the rice ingredients.

Eric, can you please clarify - does the pot-in-pot rice consist of 3 cups uncooked rice and 1.5 cups water? And the 3 cups of water goes in the main insert pot with the lentils etc.?

Hi Millie, that's correct! 3 cups uncooked rice and 1.5 cups water. And the other 3 cups of water go with the lentils. I've clarified the ingredients list above; hope that helps.
Alternatively: Just served with ordinary cooked rice on the side. This method in the recipe just helps you cook the rice with the lentils, if you'd like.

This should be 1.5 cups of rice and not 3 cups as per the original recipe from the book.
