Now add the onions and once its transparent add tomato and cook till mushy,then add mushroom.

Now the mushroom will start leaving water .Cook till all the water evaporate and then add coriander and give a quick stir.

Now add 1 ¾ of water and let it boil.

Now add the rice and close the lid and keep flame in medium for 2 mins and reduce to low and let it cook for 8 more mins.

Let the lid be closed till you serve

Now open the lid slightly and see whether all the water is absorbed as in the picture if so switch off the flame ,else keep for 2 more mins.

Notes:

If you don’t have the whole spices you can replace it with home made biryani masala pwdr.
Instead of ginger & garlic paste you can also use whole garlic and ginger.
While adding bay leaf make sure the oil is not so heat as the leaves will get burn.
