To Grind:
- Green chillies - 3
- Small onion - 10 shallots
- Chopped ginger - 1 spoon
- Garlic cloves - 6
- Mint/Pudina leaves - 1 handful

DIRECTIONS:
1. Chop the mushroom into quarters and Wash 2-3 times with water. Soak basmati rice for 20 minutes. Strain the water and keep rice aside. Get ready with all the ingredients.
13. Serve Mushroom Biryani with raita and Enjoy!
=> Curd gives nice taste to the Biryani. Its optional, you can also skip it.
=> The specified amount of spiciness is sufficient for me. If you need more or less spicy, you can adjust the quantity accordingly.
=> I grinded ginger and garlic freshly for nice aroma, you can also use store bought/homemade ginger garlic paste.
=> I used basmati rice and water in the ratio 1:2 (i.e) for 1 cup rice I have added 2 cups water.
=> Instead of 3 cups water I have added only 2 and 1/2 cups water. Since I have added curd, freshly prepared green paste and mushroom also oozes some water, I reduced the water quantity.
=> Soaking the rice for 20 minutes, enables faster cooking.
=> You can also add 1/2 spoon Biryani powder to enhance the taste.
