LowCarb Weight Loss recipe
Brown rice and Mushrooms are low in carbs, low in calories, rich in fibres, has more nutrition, many essential Vitamins, rich in protein and minerals and keeps one going for a longer time.

Combination of mushroom with rice is healthier and also tastier, hence people who watch diet does not have to subside their cravings and they can just relish this decadent dish.

This Biryani recipe is a quicker compared to the usual, but its equally aromatic and delectable. Mushrooms does not need any marination and separate long cooking process. Favourite with my kids and family.
