Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Base Spices and Onions
Heat approximately 3-4 tablespoons of mustard oil in a large pan. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 1 bay leaf, 3-4 cloves, and 1 small cinnamon stick. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant. Then, add 2-3 medium sliced onions and fry them until they turn golden brown. Once fried, remove the onions from the pan and set aside.
Step 2: Fry the Mushrooms
In the same pan, add another 2-3 tablespoons of mustard oil. Add 250g of sliced mushrooms and fry them until they start to release their moisture and turn slightly golden.
Step 3: Add Spices and Aromatics to Mushrooms
To the frying mushrooms, add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of coriander powder, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, and 1 tablespoon of garlic paste. Mix well and continue to cook for , ensuring the spices are well combined with the mushrooms.
Step 4: Incorporate Tomatoes and Biryani Masala
Add 2 medium sliced tomatoes to the mushroom mixture. Mix thoroughly and cook until the tomatoes soften. Then, add 1 tablespoon of biryani masala and 2-3 sliced green chilies. Stir everything together to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Step 5: Add Curd, Mint, and Ghee
Pour in 1/2 cup of curd (yogurt) into the pan. Mix continuously to prevent curdling and ensure it's well incorporated into the gravy. Add 1/4 cup of chopped fresh mint leaves and 1 tablespoon of ghee. Stir well.
Step 6: Combine with Boiled Rice
Carefully add 4-5 cups of boiled basmati rice over the mushroom gravy. Gently mix the rice with the gravy until everything is well combined and the rice is evenly coated with the mushroom mixture. Cook for a few more minutes on low heat to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7: Serve Mushroom Biryani
Once the mushroom biryani is thoroughly mixed and heated through, it is ready to be served hot. Enjoy your homemade mushroom biryani!
