  1. 5 stars
    I had to give the recipe 5 stars because I love the combination of spices, but I don’t know that I would like mushrooms in this particular recipe. I would probably prefer to substitute for chicken. But I think that people that eat mushrooms in this way will find this a perfect recipe!

  2. I always wondered how to make Biryani, is one of the few Indian staple dishes that I haven’t tried to make at home.

  3. I would definitely eat this. I love the herbs and spices involved in the plate. It is hard to clean wild mushrooms. Thanks for the demonstration. This is a great recipe!!!?
