South Indian Style Mushroom Biryani
This is an authentic South Indian style biryani where we do not have to give dum to the biryani.When I first tasted this biryani it reminded me of the same taste of biryani that I had tasted in Kerala during our visit.This biryani may be also prepared with mixed vegetables,paneer,egg or with chicken.Even Andhra Chicken Biryani tastes similar to this biryani where only difference is that the Andhra cuisine’s are very spicy and for that we can increase the amount of green chillies in the same recipe to make it spicy and transform it into a Andhra Biryani….I had prepared this biryani in the night for dinner and I had shot pictures both in the night and during daytime(next day),so you may see difference in the pictures.But all it matters is the taste right and I bet this is one of the best recipe.
