Spicy Tomato Mushroom Rice
Through the years, I haven't seen a whole of mushroom dishes in menus across Indian homes or Indian restaurants. I didn't grow up eating a lot of mushroomy dishes either - my aunt actually screams and runs when she sees a mushroom as if its a snake, and ends up not talking to you for a while ... well a long while ... haha ... Somewhere along the way I fell in love with mushrooms. I don't remember when it all happened but I always grab of mushrooms when I am in the market. I usually toss them in my pasta dishes, but today I decided to incorporate it in a rice dish. I am using a pressure cooker for this recipe, if you don't have one, use a deep cooking pot that can cook rice

Add the tomatoes and mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes. As this is cooking, drain the water from the rice, and add the rice to the pot and stir and fry for a few minutes. Add 3.5 cups of water, the lemon juice, and the required amount of salt and give everything a really good mix

If you are cooking in a pressure cooker, it will take 2 whistles and then you need to turn off the heat. If you are not cooking in a pressure cooker, turn the heat to low and cook until the rice is cooked

Once the rice is cooked, toss in the cilantro and mint and serve hot!

I made some Spicy Egg masala to go along with this. Some cucumber raita or plain yogurt will go well with this rice dish
