- Place rice on a plate, top with the scrambled eggs, and generously ladle the finished thick rice cooker curry alongside.

- Press the regular white rice cooking function to pressure-cook until tender.
- Serve the rich curry with rice and scrambled eggs on a plate.
Cooking tips 💡
- Adding espresso or strong black coffee to the curry gives it a bitter depth, mimicking the flavor of a long-simmered homemade curry.
- Cooking under pressure in a rice cooker makes the onions melt into a jam-like sweetness, maximizing natural sweetness and boosting the curry's quality.
- Besides white rice, diet-friendly brown rice also pairs well because the curry sauce's rich flavor complements it.
