This is the dish which my mom prepares often. Every one likes her style of Biriyani. My friends were her fans and they would ask me for the recipe. It is such a tasty dish and easy to prepare. My mom uses button mushrooms. As I couldn't get button mushrooms I used milky mushrooms. It looks very funny. It couldn't beat the taste of button mushroom. So if you are trying this please use button mushrooms.
