This weekend special post is the famous Chettinad mushroom biryani recipe, with step by step photos and a quick YouTube video. Unlike, other biryani recipes, there is no veggies chopping, peeling garlic pods or grinding part, neither a pressure cooker is needed, just you can cook in the same pan itself. As all of us know, mushrooms are a  rich source of protein, it is a perfect meal for vegetarians and kids. I usually pair it up with any deep-fried dishes like cauliflower pakoras or cauliflower 65.

Notes

Tips for making Chettinad Mushroom Biryani Recipe

1. Use good quality and aged basmati rice. For an authentic taste, jeeraga samba rice can also be used.
2. Soaking rice for 30 minutes is a must, as it helps in even cooking and gives firm/separate grains.
3. Always clean and dry the mushrooms properly. Otherwise, it leaves too much water when cooking and the dish becomes mushy.
4. Also, chop the mint and coriander leaves finely (step: 2), if used without chopping, it gets stuck in the mouth, when eating.
5. Give at least 30 minutes marination time for the mushrooms (step: 5), so the flavour gets infused well.
6. I suggest using fried onions, as it lends more flavour to the mushroom biryani recipe.
7. Adjust chilli powder and green chilli as per spice level required.
8. Don't use curd and coconut milk more than mentioned, else the rice becomes mushy.
9. For quick preparation, ready made coconut milk can be used.
10. Add salt separately for mushrooms and rice.
