  1. Soak the rice for a least an hour. Drain, reserving the cooking liquid. Let the rice air dry for 15 minutes.

  3. Heat a few tablespoons of oil, or a mixture of butter and oil, in a medium-large pot. When it is hot, add the onion, & green onion and stir and fry for a few minutes. Next add the chili paste and stir-fry for about a minute.

  4. Add the tomato and mushrooms to the pan and cook for another few minutes. Now add the rice and stir and fry for another few minutes. I fried it till all the spices & tomatoes coats the rice & the the whole mix kind of starts to dry off.

  5. Add the water, lemon juice and salt, bring to a boil. When the water disappears from the surface, ( u will still see the water in between the rice grains & there will be more water inside, Lower the heat to minimum & cover & cook for about 5 minutes. Switch off the heat after 5 minutes & keep it covered for another 10 minutes.

  6. Let sit for a few minutes and then mix in the cilantro/coriander and mint.
