Rice preparation with different variation is heartily accepted by my family. This recipe came from a sample food book called Good Mood Food by Chef Komal Taneja , free with Hudson Canola Oil. I used her method of preparation and the result was good. Everyone in the house liked these mushroom and peas rice made in pickle spices.So let’s start the recipe.yum
