In reply to Suzanne. Oh and there were 3 tech editors for this book. It wasn’t self published.

In reply to Suzanne. I’m sorry you had this experience. The kindle version has been updated, the web recipe is correct I have a list of errata one the blog. It wasn’t that I decided to cook without water. An error was made during editing.

I made the Sweet Coconut Rice, and even bought my first bit of saffron (which is very expensive) for it. I was dismayed to see that no liquid was to be added to the pot but figured the author knew more than I. Guess what—the rice came out uncooked! What kind of publishing company would just take the author's word for it all? A reputable one would hire a technical editor who actually vets the recipes by cooking them. I feel so dumb, I should have gone with my common sense. Nothing can cook rice without liquid—not even an Instant Pot. It's a shame your reply to an earlier poster is so glib about this mistake. Shame. Next time, insist that the publisher hire an independent tech editor. I know…I worked for a major publisher of how-to books.

In reply to URVASHI PITRE. I also went to make this recipe from your book (that you kindly gifted me) and read it a few times because i just knew it needed liquid! But i went ahead and tossed everything in the pot and hit rice! Then a moment later i hit cancel and decided to look at other recipes just to be sure! Im glad i came across your recipe here so that i can make it correctly! Im in the habit, when i remember, to always doublecheck recipes that i havent made before just to make sure they are basically correct! Ive corrected it in my copy now for future reference!

In reply to Frances. It was corrected immediately in the kindle, and after the very first printing in the hard copy. It’s also in the errata section on the blog. Hope you like the correct recipe!

I purchased your Indian Instant Pot Cookbook on Amazon a few months ago and finally got around to trying it out. Unfortunately, this recipe for Narali Bhat was a disaster! It didn't look right to me (not enough liquid), but I just followed the recipe anyway. Making it worse, I had quadrupled the recipe for a gathering and had to toss the works. I am glad to see the correct recipe on this site and hopefully the mistake has been corrected in future copies.
