Basmati Rice With Turmeric And Mushrooms

This may also be baked in the oven instead of the stove top --- although some people would say that soaking the rice is not needed it is just something i have done for years with basmati rice, but by all means proceed with the recipe without presoaking, just make certain to wash the rice very well in cold water --- fresh sauteed mushrooms may be used in place of canned :)
