Start by soaking 3/4th cup of raw brown rice in a deep bowl for about 30 minutes.

With the help of a strainer, drain out the water and discard it.

Transfer the soaked rice into a pressure cooker

Add approximately 2 cups of water and close the lid. Let it cook on medium/high heat until you hear 3-4 whistles. Post that, turn the heat to low and let the rice simmer for 5 minutes.

Do not rush to open the lid. Wait until the steam escapes naturally and then open the lid. Use a fork to check if your brown rice is fully cooked.
