Vegetable Biriyani

After experimenting many recipes, finally I got a tasty recipe for vegetable biriyani from my friend.
I love it and am going to stick to this recipe.


Soak basmathi rice [1cup] for 15-20minutes.

Heat oil [3tbs] in a pressure cooker.
Saute cloves [2], cardamom [1], bay leaf [1], fennel seeds [1/2tsp] and cinnamon [1] for few seconds.
Fry sliced onions [1] and slit green chillies [1 long one] and wait till the onion cooks.
Add ginger garlic paste [1tbs] and fry until raw smell goes off.
Add chopped tomatoes [1 small one], chilli powder [1/2tsp], turmeric powder [1/4tsp], garam masala [1/4tsp] and salt. Cook until oil oozes out.
Add thick curd [2tbs] and chopped vegetables [1cup - I use carrot, beans, peas and potatoes]. Mix well.
Add water [1.5cups], few mint leaves and coriander leaves. Cover and cook for 3-4minutes in low flame.
Add soaked basmathi rice [1cup]. Adjust salt and pressure cook for 2whistles.

Serve hot with onion raita.
