You
call it Mushroom rice or mushroom pulao but this is a simple recipe of European
style rice rather indo Chinese or Indian. If you have leftover rice then you
could use it right away to make this recipe.
The
flavorful rice can actually be had without any accompaniment…yum. This rice is
not at all spicy, yet tasty and flavored with herbs. If you want you could add
more black pepper or paprika or tobasco sauce to make to more hot.
This
rice has so many flavors! It’s delicious, easy and has simple ingredients.
In
this recipe I have used dried Italian seasoning which is a mix of oregano,
Basil and Thyme. But you can use any of the dried herb of your choice or
whatever is available.
I
made this mushroom rice for lunch and everyone liked it. I am sure kids would
definitely love it so did my little one. So here is an easy and quick recipe of
mushroom rice.
