I was very busy the whole of last week with shifting, so missed many of your delicious recipes. I will soon settle down and catch up with all your post. Mushroom pulao is a very tasty and flavorful dish and can be made in a matter of few minutes. Before going to the recipe, let me share with you – how to clean mushrooms as I got some mails asking me how to clean mushrooms after seeing my Mushroom Korma recipe.
This is how I clean mushrooms–
Take a damp cloth and gently clean the black spots on the mushrooms. Then rinse it for a few seconds in a bowl of water or under running water. Drain the water and pat it dry with a clean towel. Now the mushrooms are ready to be used. Do not soak them in water.

Ingredients needed
Basmati Rice- 1 cup
Button mushrooms- 150 grams
Onion- 2 medium size
Ginger-Garlic paste- 2 tsp
Green chilli- 2-3
Mint leaves- handful
Coriander leaves- handful
Thick Curd- 3 tbsp (should not be sour)
Salt to taste
For the seasoning
Oil -1 tbsp
Cinnamon -1 inch piece
Bay leaf -1
Cloves -3
Preparation
Soak basmati rice for 20 minutes, drain the water and keep it aside.
Clean the mushrooms and cut them as you like but not into very small pieces.
Thinly slice onions and slit green chillies.
Method
Heat oil and add all the ingredients mentioned under “for the seasoning”.
Add onions and saute until they turn transparent.
Add ginger-garlic paste, slit green chillies and saute for few more minutes.
Then add button mushrooms, chopped mint, coriander leaves and fry for a few seconds.
Add curd and saute for a few more seconds.
Now add 2 cups of water, needed salt, basmati rice and pressure cook for 3 whistles.(if using a separate vessel inside the cooker)
If cooking directly in the cooker, after adding everything, close the cooker without weight, when it is half cooked, stir the contents and close it with weight and cook on very low flame for 5 minutes. Switch off and open once the pressure subsides.
Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
Rice cooker method– transfer the contents to a rice cooker and switch on the rice cooking mode. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve hot.
You can prepare any tomato based gravy as a side dish for mushroom pulao.

i like this very much….healthy recipe…just one question ….will we need to add 2 cups of water for 1 cup of basmati rice….actually most of the people will add only 1 1/2 (1.5) cup of water for 1 cup of basmati rice…plz let me know
For mushrooms and other ingredients along with rice, the extra half a cup i.e., 2 cups of water for 1 cup of basmati rice helps to make it perfectly fluffy. I added half coconut milk and half water for that extra taste which my wife loved + a spoon of ghee after it is prepared for bonus points.
Thanks for this recipe.It turned out to be delicious
thank you………

Thanks for liking my PBM . You can cook directly in the cooker, after adding everything, close the cooker without weight, when it is half cooked, stir the contents and close it with weight and cook on very low flame for 5 minutes. Check this post on How to cook basmati rice and also my
Vegetable Pulao
Excellent recipe. Big fan!
Why add curd? ? What is it used for in the recipe? .
To give a slight tangy taste. Instead of curd, you can add a few drops of fresh lemon juice.
Delicious recipe, should I add tomato to it ?
Thanks…
No tomatoes for this recipe but if you like you can add a small tomato.
Can you post sprouts rice recpe
Rice was clogged and sticky ..it was mashed totally.bt i used same measurement as u said
It depends on the quality of rice. Use basmati rice.
Hello mam first time I am trying mushroom,should dip in a hot water like cauliflower
No, you should not dip it in water. Just wash it in warm water and pat it dry.Check my
Mushroom Pulao to know in detail as to how to clean mushrooms.
Thank you so much mam..
