Notes

You can also do it in pressure cooker or rice cooker.If u do it in pressure cooker follow the same procedure, but while putting in low flame put the weight,see to it that the whistle is not coming.

In case of rice cooker add extra 1/2 cup water.

If you are using the rice without soaking add 2:2 ratio water (that is for 2 cup rice add 2 cup water).

    hi,
    should we fry all ingriedients in oil,then grind it to a paste???

    • ssujatha

      hi ,

        No it is not necessary to fry them .Grind all the ingredients to a paste as such,since we r frying them in oil along with the onions.

  • Nithya

    hi Sujatha,
    Sorry!! I was browsing all other Mullai’s receipes & i did not know how i jumped o’er to here ..I did not First of all notice the name on the first line…And secondly i did not really mean to offend anyone..I actually meant those methods turned out a crap for me…

  • Mathavy

    How people never notice who posted the recipe. The first line itself showing that its ssujatha’s recipe.

  • Nithya

    wow…Mullai..thanks a lot..i was waiting for this mushroom briyani receipe for a long time…i found many receipes in many sites..but it was all crap….thanks agin…i’ll try & mail u the outcome..

    • Rohini

      It is rude to say that other sits have crap methods. No one would post any recipe without trying it. If you fail to get the taste its your fault not others. Please do not be rude to anyone. You can praise this site. Of course Ms.Mullai is doing great job. But it is wrong to discourage others and other sites. I hope even Ms.Mullai would agree with me.

  • Mathavi

    Could you please tell me how to select mushrooms. I never used them before. Thanks

    • ssujatha

      hi mathavi,

               the one i have used is white or button mushroom.

      Selection and Care:  Select fresh mushrooms that are firm with a good light color, free of darkened blotches that are signs of bruising or deterioration.  When stored properly, mushrooms will remain fresh for 5 – 7 days.  Store prepackaged mushrooms in their original container in your refrigerator, but keep bulk mushrooms in a brown paper bag. The bag allows them to breathe so they will stay fresher longer.  Don't store mushrooms in a plastic bag! They won't be able to breathe and will deteriorate quickly.

      To clean mushrooms wipe with a damp cloth or quickly rinse in cool water.  Be careful not to soak them since mushroom's porous nature lets them absorb water easily.  The skins are soft and fresh mushrooms never need peeling.

      one more thing cut the mushrooms only when ur ready for cooking.

       

      Hope this helps you.
