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.
