Biriyani has become our national food. It is prepared in various methods depending on the region. We are ready to eat biriyani irrespective of time and day. Here is the recipe of mushroom biriyani with step by step pictorial procedure.

This is a hassle free biriyani. Freshly ground masala is here. So no disturbance while eating. I have used basmati rice. If desired, jeera rice can also be used. Also you can replace mushooms with veggies or chicken/mutton and follow the same method. Usually in dum biriyani, brown onion(fried onion) is used. But in this recipe brown onion is not used.

The step by step pictorial procedure of this recipe is as follows

 NOTE

  1. Adjust the seasoning as per the taste required.
  2. The quantity of the masala can be altered as per the desire. If you want the biriyani to be spicy, add more masala than mentioned.
  3. I followed the original recipe except a small change. I didn’t use Mace (Jaadhi Pathiri) as it was not available at that time. It will give nice flavor to the biriyani. If using mace, then small piece of mace will suffice.
  4. I have added salt to the water before adding rice. So the chicken tasted salt-less. I prefer to add half of the salt to the masala and remaining to the water.
