Mushrooms are a favourite at home, that shouldn't be a secret to you guys if you've been reading me long enough. I [prepare fried rice](https://www.cookingandme.com/2013/01/indian-vegetable-fried-rice-recipe.html) quite regularly too but this is the first time I'd combined mushrooms and fried rice to make this delicious dish. I paired it with **[chilli paneer with gravy](https://www.cookingandme.com/2014/07/how-to-make-chilli-paneer-gravy-easy.html)** and it was a fabulous meal. As with most of my cooking, you don't need a lot of ingredients to **make fried rice**, but the ones that I use are mostly mandatory for you to get the right flavour. One of them is *celery* and I recommend not making fried rice unless you have some in hand to throw in. I also find that using basmati rice gives mushroom fried rice a more Indian flavour - which we enjoy. ![how to make indian mushroom fried rice recipe](https://www.cookingandme.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/14696864045_baf87c40d0_z.jpg) It's winter in Sydney and I find myself adding a touch more heat to my dishes, chilli flakes in the case of this fried rice. I'm also spending less time chopping and preparing vegetables - it's just too cold to be handling chilled vegetables from the refrigerator and washing them, preparing them, etc. **Mushrooms** are the easiest to chop up and this fried rice needs very little else. You can, of course, thrown in some chopped vegetables like carrots and beans but I preferred to keep it clean and mushroom-heavy this time around.
