    Our tip Rinse the basmati in a few changes of water until it runs nearly clear and drain it well, so the grains cook up separate. Level it in the pan so none sits above the water.

  2. For LEVEL 2: Prepare veggies as per mentioned next to it, marinate it with all powdered spices, oil, water and curd. Mix it well.
  3. Take bake tray, put marinated veggies mix over it & slide the pan into LEVEL 2.
  4. Close the door and flip the SmartSwitch to COMBI COOKER. Select COMBI MEAL, set temperature to 200*C and set time to . Press START/STOP to begin cooking (the unit will steam for before cooking).
  5. When cooking is complete, remove pan and tray. Mix it well & serve hot. Enjoy.

    Our tip Let it stand for five minutes, then fold the vegetables through with a flat spatula or fork; hot basmati breaks if you stir it hard.
