Mushroom Biryani Recipe

I always thought that mushrooms go well only in Chinese rice recipes but I was totally wrong. This recipe turned out really good.

Ingredients Mushroom Biryani Recipe

For Sautee

2 cups of rice

1 onion sliced

1 tomato chopped

½ cup peas

7-8 mushrooms roughly chopped

1 tbsp red chilli powder

1 tbsp lemon juice

Oil

Salt as per taste

Coriander for garnishing

For Paste

5 green chillies

1 inch ginger

5 garlic pods

4 green cardamoms

1 tsp fennel seeds

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 cinnamon

Method

Rinse rice well and soak it in water for an hour

Make a paste of the ingredients mentioned below for paste and keep it ready

Heat oil in a pan and add the onion, fry for a few minutes. Next add the chili paste and stir-fry for about a minute.

Add the tomato, mushrooms and peas to the pan and cook for another few minutes. Now add the rice and stir and fry for another few minutes. I fried it till all the spices & tomatoes coat the rice & the whole mix kind of starts to dry off.

Add the water, lemon juice and salt, bring to a boil. When the water disappears from the surface, ( u will still see the water in between the rice grains & there will be more water inside, Lower the heat to minimum & cover & cook for about 5 minutes. Switch off the heat after 5 minutes & keep it covered for another 10 minutes.

 

Let sit for a few minutes and then mix in the cilantro/coriander
