Mushroom biryani

Mushroom biryani

 

Mushrooms are a tasty and nutritious way to get your daily vitamin D needs.  It contain compounds that have been linked to lowering the risk of a range of cancers. Mushrooms are low in fat and sodium, helping to control weight and blood pressure.  After realizing all this I have started making mushroom dish at least once a week.

This biryani doesn’t need much side dishes too.
