I am in love with mushrooms and Nishanth is not fond of them. Since he is not around, i thought why not indulge myself with a mushroom biryani. I decided to try out the following recipe: http://arundati.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/chettinadu-style-mushroom-biryani/ The reviews seemed to be good. However, i did not have the two essential ingredients cilantro and mint leaves. I decided to try the biryani without these ingredients. The biryani came out just ok but i am guessing it is because i did not follow it to the T. Apart from not using cilantro and mint leaves, i cooked the biryani in a kadahi and the rice was not evenly cooked. Somehow cooking rice in a pan also does not work for me. The rice turns out a little raw so i used the rice cooker. This time i decided not to and the rice was unevenly cooked. I used the big mushrooms and just cut them into halves and interestingly i felt like i was eating meat perhaps because the flavors were absorbed into the mushrooms like it ha...
Just cooking trials, various good recipies we try out etc.
