    9 Mushroom Biryani – Pressure cooker method

    About Mushroom Biryani

    Mushroom Biryani is a spicy, tasty biryani that is prepared as a one pot meal by cooking mushroom with basmati rice & spices. Mushroom Biryani is quicker than most of the other biryanis as it does not involve multiple veggies availability & cutting or non – veg cleaning & sizing. Generously added spice powders is neutralized by the addition of curd & the taste gets to a different level when they are marinated and then cooked with coconut milk. Hmmm – the taste of this Mushroom Biryani lingers till the next special meal!

    Mushroom Biryani find its place in our menu once a month for a weekend lunch along with raita. Mushroom Biryani was a huge hit when I had made it for a pot luck in our apartment celebration for one of the New Year Eve.

    Mushroom Biryani – One Pot Method & Pressure Cook Method

    Mushroom Biryani recipe is presented in this post in 2 methods :

    • One Pot Method : Mushroom Biryani in One Pot Method is prepared by marinating mushrooms with spice powders in curd and cooked with coconut milk & rice in a wide pan tastes in par with non-veg biryani. I used my dutch oven which is heavy and has a tight lid. You can use any heavy bottomed pot with a tight lid.
    • Pressure Cook Method : In Pressure cook method, spices & herbs are grind, mixed with tempered onions, spices & rice and pressure cooked. The Mushroom Biryani in one pot method is tastier & flavourful than pressure cooker method. However one pot method takes more time than pressure cooker
    • method.

    Mushroom Biryani Ingredients

    • Mushroom : Choose Mushrooms that are fresh, white, without shrink, medium & evenly sized mushrooms. I have used the general umbrella shaped button mushrooms for Mushroom Biryani. See how to clean & cut mushrooms here. Putta Godugulu (Telugu), Kalaan (Tamil), Khumb (Hindi), Anabe (Kannada), Masaruma (Bangla) all mean one and the same Mushroom.
    • Rice : Basmati Rice / long grained rice is recommended for this biryani. However alternatively you can use seeraga samba rice or sona masoori rice if you do not have stock of Basmati.
    • Spice Powders : I have used Red Chilli Powder, Garam Masala Powder, Coriander Powder for making Mushroom Biryani along with ginger garlic paste. Additionally you can use Turmeric powder & Pepper Powder if you prefer them. 
    • Curd / Yogurt & Coconut Milk : Thick curd neutralizes the hotness of the spice powders but enhances the taste when marinated. Coconut milk elevates the taste of the Biryani.
    • Tomatoes & Herbs : Tomatoes gives tanginess to the dish and are added with chopped mint leaves & coriander leaves for marinating.
    • Spices : Cinnamon stick, Cloves, Bayleaf, Cardamom, Star Anise, Cumin Seeds & Fennel Seeds are seasoned in ghee / oil for Mushroom Biryani.
    • Onions : Onions are sliced thin, fried to crisp and added at the final stage.

    Expert Tips

    • While cooking covered take care not to burn, use a heavy bottomed pan or nonstick pan.
    • I used my dutch oven which was heavy and has a tight lid. You can use any heavy bottomed pot with a tight lid or close with a lid and place a heavy weight like mortar and pestle on it.
    • Also cook in lowest flame to avoid burning. Do not open and check while cooking. After 15 mins switch off and rest for another 15 mins only then open.
    • Soaking helps in giving soft yet grain separated rice.
    • Pressure Cook Version : I usually use 1:1.5 cups of rice:water. Pre-soak basmati rice for 15-20 mins and rinse couple of times to get rid of starch.
    • I use India Gate – Super Basmati rice which is along grained rice and works perfectly for biryani.

    Variations

    • If you like the lemon flavour, squeeze lemon juice once the biryani is done.
    • Add cashews (after roasting in ghee) if you wish to make it rich & crunchy.
    • You can replace mushroom with paneer for Paneer Biryani, mixed veggies for Veg Biryani in the one pot version

    Serving & Storing Suggestions

    Biryani with raita is an unbeatable combo! Onion Raita, Pineapple Raita , Cucumber Raita, Carrot Raita are some of the raita suggestions.

    Biryani gets tasty with time, so you can refrigerate & reheat for later use within the next day of preparation.

    FAQs

    1.What is Mushroom Biryani?

    Mushroom Biryani is a masala loaded flavourful biryani made by marinating mushrooms with spice powders & herbs and cooking it with rice, coconut milk & spices.

    2.How do you make Mushroom Biryani?

    • Marinate tomatoes, spice powders, mushrooms in curd for 15-20 minutes
    • Soak basmati rice for 30 mins and rinse it couple of times
    • Temper spices and fry the sliced onions
    • Add the marinated ingredients to the tempered spices and cook for 5 minutes
    • Add coconut milk, basmati rice, salt & water and cook for 10-15 minutes till the water is absorbed fully
    • Rest the biryani for 15 minutes and fluff it up with crispy fried onions! Enjoy Mushroom Biryani!

    3.Can I skip any of the ingredient?

    If you do not have any of the spices, you can skip but not recommended to skip any of the other ingredient for the upkeep of the taste & flavours.

    4.How to make Mushroom Biryani in Instant Pot?

    • Using saute mode, saute the spices & onions
    • Add marinated ingredients and cook for 3-5 mintues
    • Add coconut milk and saute for a minute
    • Add basmati rice and toss to combine with the rest of the ingredients.
    • Add water till the rice gets immersed, close the lid and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes and allow the pressure to release by itself.

    • Mushroom Biryani ready!

    5.Why is my Biryani sticky?

    Addition of more water & over cooking makes the Biryani sticky. Since coconut milk & curd are added, add not more than 2 cups of water for 1 cup rice. I have tried with 1:2.5 cups ratio and it worked well too.

    6.Which method is recommended – One pot or pressure cook method?

    I recommend One pot Method for its taste & flavour but takes slightly more time & effort. Pressure cook method is easier,quick & flavourful.

      My all time favourite! I was struggling to get a perfect recipe as I wasn't satisfied with the ones that varies from one another. If jeera rice is used, how many cups of water should be used for a cup of rice? And, may I know, why U'v used thick curd and ordinary curd in ur recipe? Love the clicks!

        I am a new-comer in the kitchen, please clarify a few steps. First thing is that I have to cook Rice first in a pressure cooker / rice cooker in the ration you have given above, and then use that cooked rice while cooking Mushroom Biryani and again pressure cook it for 3 whistles??
        Also after first whistle if lower the flame as per your recepie, then I have to wait for 2 more whistles being on the lower flame?

        No no pressure cook rice along with the masalas so in total 3 whistles only.

        Thanks, You mean I should soak the rice and drain the water , then add in the pressure cooker along with the masala. also after lowering the flame after first whistle, I should wait for two more whistles on low flame itself?

        Just keep the pressure cooker on a dosa pan.Close the pressure cooker with a plate with little water on the plate and dum cook in low flame for 5-10mins.Fluff it up.

      basmathi rice.. taste is awesome. But

      I got fully mashed rice and more moisture. .rice fullybroken. ..I used 1:2 ratio mam. .

      Then rice in the bottom of cooker was burnt mam. . Only I gave 3 whistles as u mentioned. .

      Is adding more coriander or mint leaves will give mashed rice ? Or adding more water ?

      Then I don't know how much of mint and coriander leaves have to be taken? tblsp means tightly packed one tblsp or loosely ?

      Pls mam. .Help me. .I want biryani with separated grains. …taste is good. thank u mam

        It depends on the cooker and rice variety too…I usually soak for 15-20mins and cook for 3-4 whistles…

      I tried this out yesterday and all it home liked it. It’s definitely one of those recipes I would like to treat my guests to. It tasted even better the next day. The only problem is the proportion of water. I am yet to learn how to use basmati rice.
