Mushroom Biryani, a delicious biryani made with basmati rice and mushrooms. It's an ideal one pot meal which will be ready in 25 mins and tastes super delicious and aromatic. Also it's a perfect meal to pack for lunch boxes or a day out.

I simply love the flavor of brown mushrooms so mostly using those in all my mushroom recipes recently and its flavor takes 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.
