Biryani , a famous food of Hyderabad, is devoured by all. It is a Mughlai dish which was blended with many spices and veggies and cooked slowly over fire, mainly the non vegetarian way with meat. Today, it is popular in the vegetarian cuisine also. Here is one kind of it.

1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp coriander powder
3 clovesx
3 cardamom
1 stick of cinnamon
2 tomatoes
3 tbsp oil
½ cup curds or yoghurt
2 tbsp oil for cooking
salt
For garnishing:
Fresh chopped mint leaves
Caramalised onions
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.

Cooking procedure :

- Then add the pound spices and continue to sauté.

- 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.

- 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.

Jayashree, I have never tried this method to prepare biryani – making the paste and the spice powders – lovely – this I’m sure tastes heavenly:) wish I could taste it too 🙁 guess I will have to make it:) – thanks for sharing Jayashree:)
Thankyou Anu, glad you liked it.
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.
Thankyou so much PIYALI, glad you liked it.
