For the seasoning
Oil - 2 tbsp
Cloves -2
Cardamom -1
Cinnamon -small piece
Preparation
Wash and soak the rice for 15 minutes. Drain the water completely and keep it aside.
Slice the onions lengthwise.
Clean mushrooms and cut into big pieces. (Check out for details on how to clean mushroom in my mushroom pulao recipe)
Method
Heat a tsp of ghee/butter in a pan and saute the drained rice. This will make the biryani more flavourful.
Heat 2 tbsp oil, saute cinnamon, cloves and cardamom, then add onions and fry well until onion turns golden brown.
Add chillies and ginger-garlic paste and saute well.
Add chopped tomatoes, mushrooms, curd, chilli powder, coriander powder and biryani masala. Saute for a few minutes.
Add mint leaves, coriander leaves, sauteed rice, 2 cups of hot water, salt needed, lemon juice and pressure cook for 3 whistles.
Wait for the pressure to subside and enjoy delicious hot Mushroom biriyani.
Note - If you are preparing the biryani in a kadai/pan, you can transfer the contents to another vessel and pressure cook for 3 whistles.
If you are preparing the biryani directly in the pressure cooker or pressure pan, after adding water (last step) close the cooker without weight. When the rice is half cooked, stir the contents and close it with weight. Simmer for 3-4 minutes and switch off the heat.
Potato gravy is nice side dish for this biryani. (my personal choice)

ReplyDeleteHi, I really like your web site. Simple and easy instructions and lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me what is the purpose of the following steps that you follow in most of your pulao/biryani recipes?
1. Soak the rice for about 20 mins
2. Add a tbsp of lemon juice
3. And not mentioned in this recipe, but blanch the cauliflowers
Thanks!
Biryani should not be mushy,rice should be cooked in such a way that each grain is separate.That is the reason we are adding lemon juice. As we are adding rice and water in the ratio 1:2 for most biryanis,we are soaking rice for 15-20 minutes, so that it will get cooked well.
ReplyDeleteWe blanch the cauliflowers always as the cauliflower we get here (In India) might rarely have 1 or 2 small green worms. To avoid risk, we blanch the cauliflowers even if it is good.
Thanks a lot for liking my website and recipes.
excellent dish,, thank you
ReplyDeleteI am a great fan of all your recipes.I followed your Mushroom Biryani and it turned out excellent. I do wish for you to post more and more recipes.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the biryani masala mentioned here?
ReplyDeleteYou will get ready made biryani masala powder in Indian stores. It is also available online.
DeleteVery nice
ReplyDeleteWoww super
ReplyDeleteAwesome... Today ur recipe was a hit.. Thanks a ton:
ReplyDeleteClear my doubt mam.
ReplyDelete1. Shall I use sona masoori rice ? if so, water ratio ? and Soaking time ?
2. after adding water in a pressure cooker , how much time approximately it will take to half cooked ? have to keep in high flame for half cooked ?
Thanks for ur recipe :)
Yes, you can use sona masoori rice. Quantity of water depends on the quality and age of the rice. You can try with 1 :2 ratio (1 cup rice - 2 cups water ) first. When cooking in the cooker directly, once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook covered. Read the second paragraph under "Notes" for cooking biryani directly in the cooker.
