Have fun preparing this mushroom dish!

When you think of Indian cuisine in this country, mushrooms are probably the last thing that comes to mind. And yet one of the most delicate mushrooms grows in India, namely the morel (Gochian). Morels are found in the region of Kashmir, and they are very expensive, the main reason why they are brought to the table only on special occasions. You cannot buy Indian morels in our country, but the French ones are very similar in taste. Except for the cumin, the spices are not eaten with them.

Pour boiling water over dried mushrooms in a baking dish and soak for 1 hour. Drain the water and rinse the mushrooms well a few times. Cut the large mushrooms in half. If you are using fresh mushrooms, wipe them with a clean, wet dishcloth and cut them into thick slices.

2. remove the skin from the onions, chop two of them, cut the remaining two into very thin strips.

3. rinse the basmati long grain rice.

4. put rice in a suitable bowl with 1 liter of cold water to swell for 1/2 hour. Drain and save water (if using regular rice, this step is unnecessary).

Heat fat in a heavy saucepan and fry the two onions cut into fine strips until dark brown (about 20 min). Stir constantly to achieve even browning. Remove the onions with a slotted spoon.
