( Learn how to make Mushroom Biryani, an easy biryani with mushrooms and basmati rice)
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Serves 2
What you need?
Basmati rice 1 and ½ cups soaked in 3 and ¼ cups water for 30 mins
Onion 2 medium one half sliced finely
Tomato 1 large one finely chopped
Mushrooms 1 cup chopped
Bay leaf 1
Cloves 2
Cinnamon 1″ piece
Oil and ghee 1 and ½ tbsp
To be ground into a paste
Pudina ½ cup if using fresh ¼ cup if using dried ones
Coriander leaves chopped finely ½ cup
Green chillies 4
Garlic 4 cloves
Ginger 1” bit
Cumin seeds ½ tsp
How to make it?
First grind all the ingredients that are to be ground into a fine paste and keep aside. Avoid adding too much water. You should stop with less than 2 tablespoon of water.
Next, heat oil ghee mix in a kadai. Add bay leaf, cinnamon and cloves. Saute for a minute. Now, add the onions and saute till pink and transparent.
Next, toss in the tomatoes and saute till oil separates from the mixture.
Now, add in the mushrooms and saute for 2 to 3 mins. They cook fast because they are tender.
Now, add the ground paste and saute for a minute. Not more than that cos you ll lose the flavours.
Now, add the soaked rice along with the water and salt and mix well.
Transfer to a rice cooker and cook.
Tastes yummy with simple onion raitha.
I served it for lunch with butter naan and kadai paneer.
