Gita Amma, thank you for creating this video tutorial. It is very easy to follow. I was able to cook varan, bhat and batata bhaaji and feed myself and my children- wife's away :) I seldom cook, but I have now gained the confidence to cook often. Thank you 🙏
I have used pressure cooker in the past, but the quantity of water was never correct. Today, all three items came out perfect. I was most pleased with the rice. I used basmati and the cooked rice has all long grains intact. I added two drops olive oil before cooking. Beautiful!
Many thanks from London! And wish you a long and healthy life.
Glad to be of help Santoshi. Plan a surprise lunch for your wife when she returns!!)
I'm going to be first time alone and have never cooked and this is the first video I watched and will follow this instruction to see if I make perfekt rice 😊
Dear Gita, thanks a milliom for this. Will save a lot of time during the week for dinner. Regards, Gill, Australia
Its great to know that you really prepare Indian food so often!
Thank you Shalini . This is a tried and tested method which works well The cooking time and number of whistles may vary with the brand of pressure cooker used . However pls check your cooker gasket and safety valve too .Try soaking the dal for 15 mins before cooking . Open the cooker only after the pressure has released fully . Do try again and let me know

Aunty Jee... Your basics are as beautiful as you. Will use it surely :-)
Thank you so much
🌷🌷🌷Thanks somuch.Excellent expression.
Thank you too
I do same way but when I bought new dal rice steel vessel I think dal vessel are loose, dal is coming out the dal vessel. How to fix this issue?
The quantity of dal should and water should not be more than half of the vessel
Miami nice; out of curiosity, I have a humble question. Neenga pathu paaka maatela, as in I saw at timeline 3.21 the cloth is muxing with your saree...although I see a lot of Brahmanas in TH-cam cooking doesn’t see pathu and touch everything with same hand or just be casual, while at our ancestral home they were quite cautious to wash hands after touching any cooked food.... I’m young and don’t even live in India but I see too much aacharam echil pathu like our olden days orthodox homes, I’m kind of ocd on that haha I know it’s in a way bad but this agyanam doesn’t leave me lol for some reason
Ma'am, it is really helpful video.. thanks
Welcome
Smart Cooking!
Thank you for sharing . Very useful .
Glad you liked it sandhya
Thanks 😊
Very nice.. thank you ❤
I tried the way u taught...made dishes were perfect cooked
Excellent video amma
If I keep only rice ina single separator then rice overflows ..and is all over the cooker base..could u suggest how to avoid it ?
Keep a large enough separator for the rice. There should be some space above the water level of rice as it will increase in volume
@@GitasKitchen Thank u so much for ur response.. will try the same.
Thanks.
aunty namaste. Have you used base plate/ grid below the separator stand. I have 2 seperator with stand as like yours. But suppose if i put grid then it will jot fit in my 03 ltr cooker
you can use without it also
Thank u Gita mam....I am a bachelor & also a kitchen beginner....this process help me a lot in saving my time & fuel....but sometimes the doesn't cook properly by this process specially channa dal & toor dal....some portions remains uncooked..can u help me by providing some tips?
Channa Dal usually takes more time to cook. you can try soaking it for half an hour before cooking or cook for more time/whistles.
Which size And brand of cooker??
Butterfly 7.5 l
V v v good 👍
Super amma, very helpful video, i have a doubt in case if we r doing, variety of poriyals with different vegetables in each compartment then how many whistles pls tell
if you are cooking only vegetables then one whistle is enough
@@GitasKitchen
Thank you amma
This method is really superb. M impressed .☺
Thank you
What about other types of vegetables aunty.. ? Should v add water to cook other veggies like beans carrot in the same way or can v just boil by steaming.?
You can just steam them or if required just sprinkle some water

@@GitasKitchen thank you
Ma'am super how many liters of cooker u r using it is seven Litres cooker with lid
7.5 l cooker
what ratio should be for separated fluffy rice? not mushy. thank you
It depends on the rice used. If it is long grain/basmati rice then 1:11/2 water is good. For Sona masoori you can use up to 21/2 cups
Agar udre daal banane ho tho kya kre . Please advice
daal bhi bana sakte hain . zaroori nahin ki three containers rakhen
Amma thank u so much..!
Can u tell me how to close the lid of cooker..I somehow always find it difficult
Heena if your cooker is new, try pressing down with a cloth on one side of the lid and then slowly turn the handles together
Thanks for the idea pls tell me How many litres is ur cooker and which brand cooker
This is 7.5 l pressure cooker Butterfly brand, quite an old one though
@@GitasKitchen Dear Madam: Thank you for sharing this video. I wish to ask you for your recommendation of pressure cooker capacity for my cooking requirements mentioned below: (1) I need to cook mostly for 1 person. However, I need to be able to cook for 4 people when friends come over (which happens very rarely), (2) I wish to be able to cook rice, dal, and vegetables in one go using separators as you have shown in this video, (3) I wish to be able to cook idlis using an idli stand (4 plates of 4 idlis each) in the same cooker. That is, I want my pressure cooker to be wide enough and tall enough to fit the separator pans and the idli stand comfortably without it being a very tight fit.
Could you kindly recommend me a suitable capacity for my pressure cooker purchase? I'm not in a position to go to a Prestige showroom during this lockdown. I'm asking this so that I could order online and not regret my purchase.
Thank you.
Hello Amma, loved the way you explained, from where can I buy a cooker like the one you are using with all the compartments. Please help.
poonam in India you can easily get a good brand of pressure cooker and separator pans from any stainless steel utensil dealer or supermarkets. It is also available online.Have a look at amazon.
Gita's Kitchen thank you very much for the prompt reply
Normally daal foams while cooking in the pressure cooker; and the foam seeps out from the whistle.
What happens when it's being cooked using separator?
This way it will not foam . to prevent foaming without separator you can try adding a spoon of oil to the dal
@@GitasKitchen Thank you aunty ji
What flame the gas should be - low flame, medium or high?
medium
Hi Maam, I purchased 5 ltr pressure cooker and separators .. but and tried to cook as you said but my daal is always half cooked,,,, few pulses seed will be cooked which is on the surface and the seeds which are at bottom will never cook.. i always give second cook to cook them evenly.
why so?
Shraddha, you need to add water 1;3 for dal. that is one cup dal add 3 cups water. Cook for 3 whistles. Sometimes it depends on the quality of the dal too. in that case soak in hot water for 15 mins before cooking.Check if there is enough water in the base of the cooker
add 1 spoon oil in dal..
How many litre cooker?
Do we need add water in the cooker?
7.5 l . Yes you should always add at least 2 cups water in the base of the cooker
Very nice👍👍
Thank you
how much litre this cooker is
10 litres
How much liter cookar
7.5 l
Excellent work. It helps me as a beginner.
Very good
Thank you mama
Can I cook both in my Panasonic rice cooker? 🙏🙏🙏
