Try this quick one dish meal when you are in a time crunch. The mushrooms, spinach, corn and rice come together so well, as if the combination was just meant to be! Great idea for the kids' lunch boxes or even for a weekend brunch :)

  1. Wash the Basmati Rice 2-3 times under running water. Drain all the water and keep the washed rice aside for 30 minutes.
  2. In a non-stick or heavy  base sauce pan heat the oil. Add the cinnamon stick, black pepper corns, cloves and cardamom.
