Method
Heat the water to boiling point, Now add saffron, Cardamom, salt, oil and rice. When most of the water is gone , place a lid on top and let it remain on burner for 5 mins. This will finish the steaming heat and the rice will be perfectly cooked.

Now take a pan and add olive oil for stroganoff. Then add chopped onions and garlic. Fry until brown. Now add pepper, thyme and red chilli powder. Add chopped potatoes and cook little bit as it takes more time than mushrooms. As its half done, add chopped mushrooms.

Add water ,cream and salt and cook it until mushrooms are soft ,the sauce is creamy and thick.

Serve hot with Saffron rice and garnishes. Enjoy your meal.
