Grind all the ingredients in group1 to a fine paste.Heat oil in a skillet ,add onions and fry till golden brown.Now add the

sliced mushrooms fry till they  are cooked.Add the paste till the raw smell goes followed by the tomatoes.Let it cook till

the tomatoes get mashed.Keep it aside.Meanwhile soak the rice for 10-15mins.


 In a wide mouthed nonstick vessel add the ghee and oil.After it is heated add cloves,cinnamon,cardamom,fennel seeds

and bay leaves.Fry for 2-3mins.Add the rice and  mix them well so that the rice grains are well coated with oil.Doing this

will make the rice grains from sticking.Now add the prepared gravy to the rice and mix thoroughly.Always fold the

rice,since rice will break.Add water and salt.Leave it to boil,when the water is almost absorbed close the lid.

                             

 Let it cook in simmer for 10mins.Check if the rice  is cooked.Serve it hot with any raitha.

                            

                         

                            

Notes

You can also do it in pressure cooker or rice cooker.If u do it in pressure cooker follow the same procedure, but while putting in low flame put the weight,see to it that the whistle is not coming.

In case of rice cooker add extra 1/2 cup water.

If you are using the rice without soaking add 2:2 ratio water (that is for 2 cup rice add 2 cup water).

      hey ramya,

           you can add ginger garlic paste,but fry them when you fry the onions so that the raw smell goes away…try and let me know the feedback..hope you will enjoy it….

    hi,
    should we fry all ingriedients in oil,then grind it to a paste???

    1. ssujatha Avatar
      ssujatha

      hi ,

        No it is not necessary to fry them .Grind all the ingredients to a paste as such,since we r frying them in oil along with the onions.

    hi Sujatha,
    Sorry!! I was browsing all other Mullai’s receipes & i did not know how i jumped o’er to here ..I did not First of all notice the name on the first line…And secondly i did not really mean to offend anyone..I actually meant those methods turned out a crap for me…

      Hei Nithiya,
      Many have been doing this and whenever I see them, I wonder how no one notice the name.

      It is rude to say that other sits have crap methods. No one would post any recipe without trying it. If you fail to get the taste its your fault not others. Please do not be rude to anyone. You can praise this site. Of course Ms.Mullai is doing great job. But it is wrong to discourage others and other sites. I hope even Ms.Mullai would agree with me.

    Could you please tell me how to select mushrooms. I never used them before. Thanks

    1. ssujatha Avatar

      hi mathavi,

               the one i have used is white or button mushroom.

      Selection and Care:  Select fresh mushrooms that are firm with a good light color, free of darkened blotches that are signs of bruising or deterioration.  When stored properly, mushrooms will remain fresh for 5 – 7 days.  Store prepackaged mushrooms in their original container in your refrigerator, but keep bulk mushrooms in a brown paper bag. The bag allows them to breathe so they will stay fresher longer.  Don't store mushrooms in a plastic bag! They won't be able to breathe and will deteriorate quickly.

      To clean mushrooms wipe with a damp cloth or quickly rinse in cool water.  Be careful not to soak them since mushroom's porous nature lets them absorb water easily.  The skins are soft and fresh mushrooms never need peeling.

      one more thing cut the mushrooms only when ur ready for cooking.

       

      Hope this helps you.
