Pressure Cooker Rasam Rice – One Pot Rasam Rice | Rasam Sadham

One pot rasam rice / Rasam sadam in pressure cooker is one of my favourite when it comes to one pot recipes. Usually I make it for Raksha and Sendhil whenever I go out for monthly shopping. I prepare potato curry and appalam / papad along with this rasam rice as side dish. Tastes yummy and great. We love this combo. I have been making this rice for years but somehow I din’t post in my blog. So today I thought of sharing this simple and yummy one pot rasam rice as it would be helpful for packing lunch box and for a short trip /picnic during this summer holidays.

I followed this recipe from Yogambal Sundar’s YouTube channel. I made some small changes in the recipe as per my needs. Every time it comes out so well. Consistency of this rasam rice can be varied as per your liking. I like it slightly goey and watery. So I used rice and water in 1:5 ratio.

Friends, come lets see how to make this easy and yummy one pot rasam rice in a pressure cooker. You can make the same in an Instant pot as well by setting in pressure cook mode.
