It is an Italian way of cooking rice with cheese and tomato puree. I made this more soft and creamy as my both children love this. Kids get all the benefits of this colorful vegetables and tasty grain mixed together with cheese flavor.
1 cup uncooked short grain rice- washed and soaked
2 tsp butter
1 finely chopped onion
1/2 carrot -cut into small cubes
1/4 cup sliced mushroom
