Rice sautéed with indian spices and mushroom, amazing rice for dinner. Apart from mushrooms you can also add peas, carrots and other veggies. This recipe is adapted from ecurry.com, nice blog for indian recipes.

I always thought that mushrooms go well only in Chinese rice recipes but I was totally wrong. This recipe turned out really good.

Ingredients 

For Sautee

2 cups of rice

1 onion sliced

1 tomato chopped

½ cup peas

7-8 mushrooms roughly chopped

1 tbsp red chilli powder

1 tbsp lemon juice

Oil

Salt as per taste

Coriander for garnishing

For Paste

5 green chillies

1 inch ginger

5 garlic pods

4 green cardamoms

1 tsp fennel seeds

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 cinnamon

Method

Rinse rice well and soak it in water for an hour

Make a paste of the ingredients mentioned below for paste and keep it ready

Heat oil in a pan and add the onion, fry for a few minutes. Next add the chili paste and stir-fry for about a minute.

Add the tomato, mushrooms and peas to the pan and cook for another few minutes. Now add the rice and stir and fry for another few minutes. I fried it till all the spices & tomatoes coat the rice & the whole mix kind of starts to dry off.

Add the water, lemon juice and salt, bring to a boil. When the water disappears from the surface, ( u will still see the water in between the rice grains & there will be more water inside, Lower the heat to minimum & cover & cook for about 5 minutes. Switch off the heat after 5 minutes & keep it covered for another 10 minutes.

Let sit for a few minutes and then mix in the cilantro/coriander
