Add about ½ cup or more water. - Place in a pressure cooker or pan and cook on high for about 3 to 4 whistles (or lower the heat after 1 whistle and simmer on low for 5 minutes). Turn off heat and let the pressure pan cool. - Once pressure is released, slowly open the pan. The rice would have cooked well. It should be mushy. Rice should be cooked well for this kheer.
