There would hardly be an Indian who does not like biryani. There are both vegetarian and non vegetarian biryani’s variations available to us. Biryani was introduced in India during the Mughal period and has been very popular since then. The sheer method of part preparing the rice and meat or vegetable separately and then layering and letting it cook fully enthuses the taste in the biryani which has no supplements. Biryani goes well with raita or plain curry and leaves long lasting taste even after completing the meal. Biryani is a fairly regular featur in our home however I do try and change the meat or the vegetable depending on what feels more exciting. Just the other day at the vegetable shop I found nice white mushrooms which I used to create this Mushroom Biryani. Mushrooms are rich in vitamin B and really low calorie so they don’t add up much more to the biryani like the other meats. The taste is just amazing and it looks nice too. So use the recipe to create a delicious Mushroom Biryani.
