Mushroom Masala Rice

Mushroom Masala Rice is an appealing rice recipe with the stir fried mushrooms added along with delicious tomato and some gram masala to rice and then enjoyed with chopped coriander leaves as garnish.

Mushroom rice is a very tasty and flavorful dish and can be made in a matter of few minutes. I I would like to share a tip as to how you could clean mushrooms. First, you need to gently clean the black spots on the mushrooms. Then rinse it for a few seconds in a bowl of water. Drain the water and pat it dry with a clean towel. Your mushroom is now ready to be used. I hope this tip was useful, let’s get into the recipe.
