Can I ask how you would cook this in the Ninja 15 please.

[@PipingPotCurry]

I have not used the Ninja 15, but it seems like a multicooker similar to instant pot. I would use the same settings to pressure cook the chickpea rice. Here is the detailed recipe - pipingpotcurry.com/chana-pulao/

[@dazealex]

I am cooking it in an instant pot. How much water do I add for let's say a glass of basmati rice? Is it 2X the water or 1.5X?

[@PipingPotCurry]

I usually add 1.5x water for instant pot method. The details are included in the post here for instant pot - pipingpotcurry.com/chana-pulao/
