Tried this process for 0.5 cup brown rice with 1.5 cups water 7/8 whistles in my small cooker.. The rice in not getting fully cooked and remain little hard.. Can you help me fix this? I tried giving 2 extra whistles and also soaking for longer than 30 mins.. but none of it helped.

Tarla Dalal    Thank you for your feedback. This is brown rice and so it doesn''t get an absolute soft texture like white rice after cooking. Please keep sharing your reviews on recipes and articles you love.

How long in minutes does ‘7 whistles’ mean?

Tarla Dalal    7 whistles would take approx. 15 to 20 minutes depending on the size of the pressure cooker.

Tarla Dalal    The soaking time is 30 minutes. We use a standard cup of 200 ml as a reference. Please use a standard cup and follow the measurements of the recipe.

How many more extra whistles should we cook it for, if we do not soak the rice before?

Tarla Dalal    Soaking is a must. Brown rice needs soaking to speed up the process of cooking.
