5. Drain all the water from the rice and lentils and add them to the cooker
6. Dry roast them for 4-5 minutes, till you can smell a nutty aroma
7. Don’t worry if some of the rice and lentils stick to the bottom of the pan, but be careful not to burn them

9. Let the pressure release naturally
10. Once all the pressure has released, open the pressure cooker and mix well
