I was really bored the other afternoon, and was too lazy to go hog outside. So decided to cook something for myself really fast, and decided to make simple Vegetable Biryani and some gravy to go along with it. So, here’s the simple recipe for a delicious meal.
Rice:
Ingredients Required
1 Onion (chopped or diced), diced vegetables (Potatoes, Carrots, etc.), 1/2 cup Basmati rice (soaked), Cumin seeds, Maggi Masala cube (if available), Garam Masala powder, Coriander powder, Cumin powder, Chili powder, Salt, Ghee/Butter.
Procedure
In a pressure cooker, heat some ghee or butter and add some cumin seeds. Once the seeds pop, add the onions and fry them until golden brown. Add the vegetables and fry them for a couple of minutes. Next add all the masala and chilli powder, and mix well. Now add the soaked rice and add appropriate amount of water for the rice. Add salt and mix well. Close the cooker lid and let it simmer. Turn the flame off after two whistles. Once the cooker opens, garnish with some ghee or butter, and chopped coriander. Your Biryani is ready!! 😀
