Mushroom Biryani

This is an instant biryani version. With less spices & ingredients the biryani can be prepared within 25 minutes. Mushrooms need very less time to get cooked and hence this recipe comes handy on busy weekdays. I used button mushrooms. Also I added only onion,tomato along with mushrooms. Didn’t want to add too much of veggies. I truely wanted mushroom to be the hero of this dish.

You can serve this biryani with raita or any other gravy of your choice. I prepared strawberry raita. It tasted delicious. The tangy,sour raita with spicy biryani made an awesome combo. Do try these dishes and let me know if you like it.The following measurement serve two people. Adjust quantity accordingly.

Cleaning Mushrooms :

• Dip the mushrooms in a bowl of water
• After a minute, use a kitchen towel and clean off impurities from mushroom
• Then pat & dry it for sometime
• I generally dont remove mushroom stem. Chop the mushroom lengthwise into 3,4 pieces.

Strawberry Raita :

• Chop strawberry vertically into pieces
• Add them in a bowl of creamy yogurt
• Add just a pinch of salt & chat maasala powder
• Mix everything well
• Strawberry Raita is ready to be served
