    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.
