Mushroom Dum Biryani
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.
This recipe is a dum style layered biryani recipe, there is no tomato in this and all the flavour comes from the whole spices, herbs, fried onions..There is another version, which is a one pot biryani recipe, will share that soon. I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

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
Priya Gautham

AJ
doesn't curd separate (watery?) when you put it in hot pan? Always happens to me, or there is trick to it?
Aarthi
@AJSimmer the flame before adding curd
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.
