Mushroom Biryani Recipe/Kalaan Biryani/How to make Mushroom Biryani with step by step photos/Lunch Box Recipe/One Pot Meals

Since it was a vegetarian day and I was running out of all vegetables but had a big box of mushrooms so I thought I will make a mushroom pulav.  But I was getting really bored to make a pulav, so decided to make biryani.

I remember seeing mushroom biryani in sharmi’s space, but I made changes by grinding different ingredients and believe it or not it tasted like mutton biryani and made my day. Everybody in my house was happy and gobbled it up, so I am sharing it with you all. It is a great one pot meal perfect for parties and get-togethers. Also check out other interesting Vegetarian Pulavs/Biryanis/Rice Varieties here and Non Vegetarian Biryanis/Pulavs/Rice Varieties here

Pepper Rasam/Milagu Rasam/Milagu Rasam Recipe/Easy & Healthy Pepper Rasam Recipe

Rasam plays a vital role in  South Indian meals especially Tamil Nadu , no meal is complete without rasam. We make it every day at our homes but each time with different flavor and a twist. 
Whenever I go on trips and come back the very first thing I prefer after I come back will be a simple pepper rasam for two reasons, the  first is  the taste is mind blowing and the second is, it can be made in 10 minutes. Just have it with rice and appalam and your day is complete.
Today my little one has a very bad cold, so I made pepper rasam which is absolutely the best remedy for cold and gets easily digested. Check out my other  rasam varieties here
