Mushroom Biryani | Mushroom Biryani in pressure cooker | Biryani Recipe

Mushroom Biryani in Pressure cooker, a ideal one pot meal which will be ready in 25 mins and tastes super delicious.  Therefore  it's a ideal meal to pack for lunch boxes or a perfect meal for your lazy days. I'm kind of person who likes biryani only when it's made from some meat (either lamb or chicken, those are the meat only we have 😄).
Hence i'm not quite fond of other biryani made from vegetables ,soy chunks etc, expect this mushroom biryani which like a lot.I simply love the flavor of mushroom and its flavor take this biryani into next level. In this mushroom biryani, the mushroom flavor is predominant and all the other flavors are very subtle.If you like more spicy biryani, then check out my chettinad mushroom biryani.

Notes:
  • I have used brown mushroom here, but you can use white mushroom too.
  • You can reduce the amount of ghee and add equal amount of oil too.
  • If you want more flavor, add 1/2 tsp of garam masala along with other spices.
  • I like the flavor of mushroom in the biryani, so skipped the garam masala.
