Khushka / kuska / khusqa is a popular South Indian rice recipe which is very easy and flavorful. It is actually a plain rice which is very similar to ghee rice.

Moreover, in this video we will learn how to make biryani or rice in a pressure cooker. For making kuska rice, i used basmati rice only.

• Boil the eggs in a pan and set this aside.
• Wash and Soak the rice in water for 15 minutes. Then drain it and set aside.
• Heat a pressure cooker and add oil. Saute all those ingredients given under for making paste. Once it is done, transfer it to a plate. Allow it to cool and then make a thick paste.
• Again heat the pressure cooker. Add 2 tbsp oil and 1 tsp ghee together. Saute the onion sliced. Once onion turns golden, add the ground paste. Add salt and then add the curd. Combine very well. 
• Finally add the hard boiled eggs and mix well.
• To this, pour 4.5 cups of water. That is for 1 cup of rice we are using 1.5 cups of water, if we are cooking in pressure cooker.
• Once the water starts to boil, add the drained rice and pressure it over a low flame.
• Switch off the flame just before the first whistle starts.
• Then let it set aside for 15 minutes. After that open the lid and give a nice mix.
• Egg kuska is ready. I served it along with chicken fry and condiments.
