Mushroom masala

Mushroom masala

I am so impressed with this thing called mushroom. There are so many ways you can use them. It goes in so many cuisines. I really feel it is one of the most versatile vegetable known. Plus its tasty too. Me & my husband both love mushrooms. We tend to order any dish with it in restaurants as well. So its usually included in my weekly grocery list. Every time, I try to experiment with this vegetable. I made this mushroom masala during one such experiment.

This is one popular dish across the streets of Mumbai. Every locality has that one stall which serves the best Pav Bhaji & every Mumbaiite will swear that they have had the best one in their neighborhood.

Brown Rice Pulao

Brown Rice Pulao

Being South Indians, me & my husband are a sucker for rice. It really is our weakness & specially when you are trying to shed those extra pounds off, eating rice doesn't help. So what do we do? Look for alternatives obviously. Meet Mr. Brown rice who initially I was very skeptical to even try! My husband said, "why not, lets give it a shot" & we landed up buying it from Walmart. It was stocked in my kitchen for more than a month now. I still had not made up my mind to try it. Finally yesterday I just thought - "What the hell, I will make it anyways, If it turns out well, then its our dinner, else my husband will have to finish it off! :)
So I decided to not take any chances & make it with all the spices & veggies to pep it up.
