Recipe Notes and Tips
For Microwave auto cook menu to work, you must soak whole masoor dal and brown rice beforehand. Because cooking time in the auto-cook menu works that way. If not soaked it may result in undercooked rice or dal. Always take care of the amount of water you use in a recipe. You can adjust the quantity slightly as per the quality of brown rice you are using. In this recipe, I am using long grain basmati brown rice.
