Mushroom Pulao

I have one omnivores friend who says mushroom is my favourite vegetable.When we enquire why so,he comments that mushroom is the only vegetable that tastes little closer to meat...
I don't know how much true it is but I too love mushrooms!
I like this pulao for its simplicity and this makes me feel I'm consuming the nutritious stuff...mushroomms!!
There are already numerous posts of Mushroom pulao available on the web ....and here comes my entry too!
