Rinse rice thoroughly till water runs clear. There's no need to soak rice.
Place rice and water in the Instant Pot inner pot. Add salt and ghee if using. Stir to combine and close the lid.
Pressure cook on High Pressure for 22 minutes. **
Once pressure cooking is complete, allow the Instant Pot to do a natural pressure release (NPR) or a 15-minute natural release if you're short on time. Open the lid. [Read More: The Different Pressure Release Methods]
Open the Instant Pot and fluff the rice with a fork and let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
* You can add between ½ and 1 teaspoon of salt per cup of dry rice.
** If you want the rice to be more al dente or chewy, decrease the pressure cooking time to 21 minutes. Increase pressure cooking time by 1 minute for softer rice.
For 1 cup of rice, use 1 ¼ cup of water.
Different brands of rice may need a bit more water. I use Dynasty rice.
* Do not overfill your pot with rice, i.e. past ½ mark.
