   Ingredients needed

   Basmati Rice – 1 cup
   Button mushroom – 200 grams
   Onion -2
   Green chilli – 2 slitted
   Ginger-Garlic paste – 1 tsp
   Tomato – 1
   Curd – 1 tbsp
   Coriander leaves – handful
   Mint leaves – handful
   Lemon juice – 1 tbsp
   Salt needed

   Spice Powder

   Chilli Powder – 1/2 tsp
   Coriander powder – 2 tsp
   Biryani Masala -2 tsp ( available ready made)

   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)
