How to Make Mushroom Corn Rice in the Pressure Cooker
Hello Foodies,
The goodness of sweet corn coupled with mushrooms, basmati rice, and some flavorful spices. A low-fat alternative, the fresh flavors of sweet corn, mushrooms, onion, and spices will get you hooked! Here’s a mostly hands-off, weeknight-friendly recipe for mushroom rice, full of flavor.
Mushroom Corn Rice - A classic combination of mushroom and corn cooked with butter and flavorful Basmati rice that gives the yummy flavor to this dish. It is perfect for lunch boxes. For kids and adults alike. Add a side of yogurt, pickle, papad, and fruit. All set!
I keep repeating this dish very often, as mushroom and corn have such unique textures and flavors. The protein content in mushrooms and the fiber in corn make it a 'Superfood'. This is such a versatile and easy one-pot meal recipe. I’ve used mushrooms, corn. You can add other vegetables like potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, and more. You can mix in scrambled eggs or use boneless chicken along with the vegetables for added protein. So many possibilities!
We love Instant Pot Mushroom Corn Rice Because It’s-
- Gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free recipe.
- Ready in less than 20 Minutes.
- It is the perfect one-pot meal.
- It is easy to make and so flavorful.
- It is the perfect, non-sticky Rice recipe.
Which Basmati Rice do I use?
I recommend using good quality Basmati Rice/Long Grain Jasmine Rice. I have used Tilda / Royal / Daawat’s extra-long Basmati Rice which are the best brands. Every variety of rice comes out perfect and smells amazing! Aged basmati rice works very well when making pulao, or biryani.

Tips to Make Mushroom Corn Rice:
- Use any type of mushrooms you want. I used normal button mushrooms, but you use Swiss Brown / Cremini mushrooms.
- Don't slice mushrooms too thin.
- Basmati and jasmine are great here, it comes out nice and fluffy like long grain rice.
- I find that medium and short-grain rice is a bit sticky for my taste when cooked in pulao style.
- I have used fresh sweetcorn, but you can use frozen sweetcorn too.
