Notes

  • Cook on medium flame. I keep a small bowl to stop the steam from escaping.
  • You can follow other methods of cooking also. To make in pressure cooker, follow the same method, and keep the whistle over it.
  • To cook in rice cooker, transfer it to the rice cooker and then add the stock.
