MUSHROOM BIRYANI in Pressure Cooker using Seeraga Samba Rice
Making Biryani is something special and satisfying. Using Seeraga samba rice for biryani makes it more flavourful since it absorbs masala well. I prefer Mushroom Biryani for vegeterian parties / Lunch. It is easy to prepare and sounds scrumptious.

- Roasting rice in ghee makes biryani more flavourful and prevents from sticking with each other.
