  • Pressure cook till it is 3/4th done.(I kept it for 6 mins after putting weight valve.My cooker generally takes 8 mins to cook the rice completely.)So depending on ur cooker,please vary the time.Now open the cooker and mix it once.
How to put DUM
  • Heat a dosa tawa and keep the cooker on it with weight valve.
    • Once the tawa becomes hot,simmer the flame and let the cooker stand on it for 8-10 mins..
    • The rice will be cooked full using the vapor inside. It wont get burnt.Once the pressure is released ,open the cooker and toss it once. Add the roasted bread pieces and mix it well.
