biryani,the vegetarian way

 

PROCEDURE :

  • Cook the rice with only two cups of water. It is partially cooked, on further cooking it will be evenly done.
  • Cut veggies into small cubes.
  • Grind onion, green chillies, ginger and garlic into a fine paste.
  • Boil the vegetables in a pan. Add the potatoes, a little later as they should be a little firm.
  • Make powder of clove, cinnamon and cardamom.
  • Make puree of tomato and keep aside.

 

Cooking procedure :

  • Now take oil in a pressure pan and add the paste of onion. Saute it till light pink in colour.
  • Then add the pound spices and continue to sauté.
  • Later add turmeric powder, coriander powder and chilli powder.
  • Add tomato puree,mint leaves and yoghurt and continue to blend the mixture.
  • As the aroma spreads add the boiled veggies, and the partially cooked rice.
  • Close the lid and allow to cook on a slow flame.
  • Once done, mix the rice well as the masala needs to blend well.
  • Garnish with caramalised onions.
  • Biryani is ready to serve.

To make caramalised onions :

Cut onions into thin long pieces. Take oil in a small pan and add the onions. Saute them until dark brown in colour. Be careful as they tend to get burnt easily.

To Serve :

  Serve biryani  garnished with onions along  with a salad of your choice.

I remember having hyderabadi Biryani with a spicy daal in one of the restaurants in Bangalore and it was super delicious. I would love to try it at home some time…

The word Biryani itself gets me salivating. I love the fact that you added caramelised onions to your recipe. Many don’t and keep it restricted to only the non vegetarian version. I am sure those onions would have taken the dish to another level.
