Preparation :
--------------
First cook the rice and keep it aside.I used Ponni Raw rice,you can use Basmati rice too.Clean the mushrooms and chop them into small pieces.
Now place a pan on the stove on medium heat,pour oil .Once the oil is heated up add the crushed cumin and pepper powder and fry.
Now add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and increase the heat of the stove as the mushrooms will start to leave water.Increasing the heat will help the water to evaporate and the mushrooms get cooked quickly.
Now add turmeric,salt and stir well and once the oil starts to separate reduce the heat.
Now add the cooked rice and mix well.
Let it cook for 2 more minutes and switch off the stove.Garnish with cilantro.
Yummy ,Mushroom Rice is ready to serve.This can be served as is with some salad.
