A couple of days back, I bought a beautiful bunch of leaves intending to use it in an egg curry. Unfortunately, however, plans changed, and I never got to use it. On the same day, I bought a packet of button mushrooms, but ended up serving a very different dish when I had guests over for dinner.
With us leaving on a ten day vacation, I tried to clear up the fridge, and adapted this recipe to fix ourselves a great lunch.
200 gms mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped fine
3 garlic cloves, chopped
Butter
4 tbs chopped fresh dil, reserve a little for garnishing
Salt to taste
Grated cheese
1 measure brown rice
1 cup milk
1 tbsp cornflour
Method:
Soak the rice for 30 minutes, and cook with 2 1/2 measures of water till done. Drain and keep aside
Heat the butter, saute garlic and onion till they turn transparent.
Add chopped mushrooms and salt to taste, and saute on a low flame till the water evaporates.
Add dill leaves and salt and stir for another minute. Keep aside.
In the same pan, heat the milk, and taking a little milk, make a paste with the cornflour. Add cornflour to the warm milk, bring to a boil, and simmer for about a minute. Add 2 tbsp grated cheese and salt to taste.
Add cooked rice to the white sauce, and after well mixed, add the sauteed mushrooms.
Serve garnished with some dill leaves.
