Instructions
Preparation
- Clean, wash and soak the rice for 20 to 30 minutes.
- When the rice is getting soaked, chop all the veggies. Rinse and chop the mushrooms too.
- Take all the whole garam masala and keep it aside.
- After 20 to 30 minutes drain all the water from the rice. Set the soaked rice aside.
Making mushroom pulao
- In a pressure cooker, heat oil. Add the whole garam masala including cumin, and fry till they become fragrant. About few seconds.
- Add the onions and fry them stirring often till they become light golden.
- Add the ginger-garlic paste and saute for a few seconds or till the raw smell of the paste disappears.
- Now add the chopped tomatoes, potatoes and mushrooms. Saute for 4 to 5 minutes till the mushrooms are half cooked on low to medium heat. Keep on stirring in between.
- Add the soaked rice and the chopped green chili.
- Saute the rice for 1 to 2 minutes stirring in between on a low heat.
- Add the coconut milk and water. Stir and season with salt as per taste. Mix very well.
- Check the taste of the broth and it should taste slightly salty.
- Pressure cook the mushroom pulao for 2 to 3 whistles or for 9 to 10 minutes. If using 3-liter cooker, pressure cook for 2 whistles and for a 2 litre cooker, pressure cook for 3 whistles.
- When the pressure settles down on its own, then only remove the lid and gently fluff the rice with a fork.
- Garnish with coriander leaves or mint leaves and serve mushroom pulao with sliced onions and lime. You could also have it with onion-tomato raita or any raita of your choice.
