On days like today, when the clouds darken the sky, and drops of rain fall helplessly on the ground, all I can think of cooking for dinner is a one pot comforting meal comprising of rice, mushrooms, and oh yes, most definitely, peas. The meal was a breeze to make, much to the chagrin of pea-hater Hubby Dear. If only there was a law forbidding one to hate peas!
Masala Mushroom Rice
2 cups Basmati rice
2 cups sliced shitake mushrooms
1/2 cup frozen green peas
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp whole cumin seeds
1/4 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 tbsp light cooking oil
salt, to taste
HEAT oil in a non-stick deep pan and saute cumin seeds, garlic and onions till tender and fragrant. Add mushrooms, and fry till brown all the moisture evaporates. Stir in salt and spices, and fry for a minute.
ADD 3 3/4 cups of water, and once it comes to a boil, stir in rice and peas. Let simmer on a low heat till water evaporates and rice is cooked through. Serve warm with a side of raita.
