MUSHROOM BIRIYANI (THALASSERI STYLE) / KOON BIRIYANI

Hi, Today,s special is a tasty Biriyani recipe.  Vegetarians as well as non vegetarians  would like this because I used Mushrooms to prepare this. Mushrooms, though classified as vegetables in the food world, are technically not plants. Mushrooms belong to the Fungi family, and are the fleshy, spore- bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. Anyway, I experimented this mushroom biriyani for my dear daughter because she likes mushrooms as well as biriyani and fried rice. See the recipe of Thalasseri special Mushroom Biriyani.
