Mushroom Pulao

I made this today and it turned out to be a fairly easy recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 Med onions thinly sliced or diced
• 2 med tomatos diced
• 2 Garlic pods chopped finely
• 1-2 cups of sliced mushrooms 
• 1/2 cup of peas (optional)
• 2 Green Chillies
• 2 Cloves
• 1 Stick cinnamon
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 Star Anise
• 1 tbsp Garam Masala Powder
• Salt
• 2 cups Basmathi Rice
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tbsp ghee/butter
• Coriander leaves to garnish

Method:

• I used a Pressure Pan for this dish. You could use a wide skillet with a lid also but you need to adjust cooking time and water accordingly.
• Soak rice for 10-20 mins and drain water and set aside
• Heat oil and ghee in pressure cooker.
• Add cloves, cinnamon, bay leaf and star anise.
• After a few seconds, add garlic, onion and green chilli. Saute for a couple of minutes.
• Add mushroom and peas and Sautee for 5 mins
• Add rice and saute for 5 mins
• Add Tomato and Saute for 5 mins
• Finally add 4 cups water and cover the pressure cooker and cook for 3 whistles.
• Cool and garnish with coriander leaves.
• Serve with Raita.
