Notes

  1. The rice and water ratio may vary depending on the type of rice you are using. Here I have used long-grain basmati rice.
  2. Instead of using vegetable bouillon cubes and water, you can also use vegetable or mushroom stock.
  3. Cut mushrooms into large pieces as they will shrink in size after getting cooked.
