Method:

• Soak the rice for 20mintes. Drain and keep it aside.
• Heat the pressure cooker in high heat & add 3tbsp of sugar.
• Do not stir & allow sugar to caramelize.( Sugar starts to turn dark brown color).
• Stay away & add ½cups of water to the caramelized sugar since it will splash.
• Now add milk with drained rice and mix well.
• When this mixture starts to boil, close the cooker & put the weight and lower the heat.
• Pressure cook it for 30mintues.
• When pressure drops, Open the lid & add sugar, mix well.
