Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Mixed mushroom rice (Khumb phutgal pulau)

    • Shelmar on October 21, 2020

      Flavors are excellent and intense. I had to add 3 cups more liquid to rice, so added two cups of mushroom broth and a cup of water. I made this recipe in the high desert, so maybe my rice dries out more than some places, but at the quantity of fluid needed, I think the amounts of liquid needed is off on the recipe to start with. I liked this and will repeat in the humid south and post another note about liquid needed. This made enough for 8, not the four it suggested. I think other types of mushrooms would work in the recipe well, but the morels provide their flavor to sauce that gets mixed in and absorbed at end of cooking, so I think another pungent dried mushroom might work if you cannot find or afford morels. This would go well with a light salad or fruit side dish.

      Tastes good. Use one cup of rice or increase the amount of mushroom stock. Could try with alternative mushrooms.

  • Vegetable stew (Ishtoo)

    • Shelmar on October 21, 2020

      I drained water after boiling vegetables, as I wanted a dish to serve with rice, not a very thin soup. This decreases portion size, making it enough to serve two as a main course over rice. Flavors are excellent. Next time I will put cardamom and cinnamon in a cheese cloth bag, increase amount of vegetables by 10%. Very easy and quick to make.
