• 9 mushrooms, chopped into a small dice
• 1 hot green chili pepper, thinly sliced (or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon cumin, ground
• 1 teaspoon coriander, ground
• 2 cups cooked rice
• 3/4 cup broth (vegetarian or chicked or beef broth)
• salt, to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

Recipe

• 1 heat the oil in a skillet and add the onions; saute for a few minutes, then add the mushrooms and continue to saute 3 to 4 minutes with an occasional stir.
• 2 add in the sliced chili, and after a minute add the cumin, the coriander and the rice, cook on low about 5 minutes.
• 3 if using cold rice right from the fridge, you may need more broth and more cooking time.
• 4 add salt to taste, and serve with a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro, if you wish; a cucumber raita alongside is good with this dish.
