Yellow Wavy Line

"

Rasam Sadam is one of my favorite comfort meals. This one-pot rasam rice made in the instant pot is the most convenient and easy recipe. This paired with some potato curry or kovakkai poriyal is so delicious that you will go back for seconds.

Steps 3-5

– Add the washed and drained rice, and mix to combine. Now add the water needed. I used about 3 cups of water. We can adjust the consistency to make it runnier after the rasam sadam is done cooking. – Set the instant pot on pressure cook mode.

Steps 8-10

– If you prefer smoother and creamier rasam rice, gently mash everything together using a ladle. – Adjust the consistency of the rice by adding hot water. Again I used close to one cup of hot water to make my rasam sadam more flowing in consistency. At this stage also check for salt and adjust it.
