Many of my viewers asked me to post more mushroom recipes, specially mushroom biryani recipe in my blog. Each time i go to super market, i get a packet of mushroom to try out biryani and somehow it didn't click. I end up making some other recipes. But couple days back when i visited my veg shop, i found a packet of white white button mushrooms, immediately i picked one. The next day itself i made this biryani along with mushroom manchurian. It turned out to be super delicious.

Hi Aarthi,
As u said it's dum. Do we need to put the lid tightly with dough or just a normal lid will do.
Subha Subramanian
Lovely presentation.looks scrumptious.thanks for step to step pictures.
Thanks
Subha Subramanian
Aarthi
@sheelaIf your pan has a tight lid, then dont need dough. If not you have to seal it with dough

doesn't curd separate (watery?) when you put it in hot pan? Always happens to me, or there is trick to it?
Aarthi

Bhasky
Hi Aarthi....
Can u pls tell me the difference between an ordinary chicken Briyani and a DUM Briyani? I think im being fooled in hotels and restaurants. 🙁
Aarthi
@Bhaskyordinary biryani is rice, chicken and everything cooked togethe. But dum biryani is cooking rice and meat separately adn layering them, then putting the whole thing in dum.
