Mushroom Biryani Recipe

Written By Angela Steffi on Wednesday, September 14, 2016 | 11:02:00 PM


Mushroom biryani ( known as Kaalan Biryani in Tamil) is one of the delicacies of vegetarian cooking and this mushroom biryani recipe is one of my favorite recipes. Mushrooms are exotic ingredients of cooking, they have little flavor on their own but they will absorb the flavor of all the seasoning applied to them. Mushrooms are rich in nutrients and are a good source of anti oxidants while having lower calories.I am a big big fan of biryani,to be frank i have never tried mushroom biryani for the past 22 years but accidentally it happened on one fine day at my friends wedding,I tasted this awesome mushroom biryani and I fell in love with it from then on I make this delicious Biryani very often.Now I make Chicken BiryaniMutton Biryani, Mushroom Biryani, Veg Biryani ,Prawn Biryani, Fish Biryani in a sequence every weekend.

Step 4) Once it is thickened and the raw smell is gone at this stage add the cleaned mushrooms. Mix it well with the onion masala mixture .whenever you cook mushrooms it will release a lot of moisture so we need to remove that moisture completely. Now once the mushrooms are cooked add quarter cup of yogurt some mint leaves and some coriander leaves. Gently mix it gain
