Looking for Vegetarian/Vegan Rice recipes to make in your Instant Pot? Here is my collection of 30+ Best Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Indian Rice Recipes from my blog. You can also find a variety of other Indian vegetarian curries, beans, lentils, and dessert recipes.

Instant Pot Indian Rice Recipes

Rice is one of the staple cereal in India. There are hundreds of recipes made regionally.

I have prepared all these dishes in my electric pressure cooker, Instant Pot DUO60 6 QT. You can use any equivalent electric pressure cooker like Mealthy Multipot.

Also, check out Indian Party Menu Ideas if you plan to host an event at your home.

Must-Have Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker Accessories

  • Tall Trivet: To cook multiple dishes at once using the pot-in-pot method, I highly recommend using a tall trivet. You can cook curries/rice at the same time.
  • Stackable Containers: To cook the pot-in-pot method (cooking multiple items at once), these containers are very useful. I generally use stainless steel or pyrex glass container for cooking rice, lentils, or veggies.
  • Steamer basket: It prevents the veggies from soaking up too much of the water in the bottom of the pot preventing overcooked, mushy vegetables.
  • Immersion Blender: The immersion blender is very useful while making purees or soups in the Instant pot. It helps you to blend food in the same pot.
  • Oven Mitts: it's useful to handle hot steaming food.

Here are 30+ Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Indian Rice Recipes
