Mushroom Briyani #2

Its a retry version with some tweaks and one of the attempt to add vegetables into Adharsh diet. Though he is not a fan of rice, he likes vegetable rice to some extent. so, thought of trying this briyani but didnt have much expectation and time also(since it was a weekend trial). But it tasted very good and it really made the day with a satisfaction of effort not being wasted.
