    Mushroom Dum Biryani Recipe with step by step pictures. This is made with Mushrooms ,Milk and Basmati Rice. Simple biryani made with mushrooms.

    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.

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

      @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.
