Mushroom Pulao.. (Pressure cooker version)

Pulao usually comes to my rescue when I am not in the mood of cooking and hence prefer to cook 1 pot meal. Yesterday I cooked mushroom pulao which is not just easy to make but also very tasty. Mushroom pulao is a nice variation from the usual matar pulao or vegetable pulao.
Some of my favorite Rice Items Recipe's are: Mutton Briyani, Mushroom Briyani, Soya Chunk Briyani.
