Veg Biryani
Bestelldaten
I tried this simple vegetarian biryani recipe multiple times to get the measurements just right (measurements can vary depending on the brand of rice you use and veggies. I’ve tried to be as precise as possible). The end result is a steamy pot full of aromatic biryani packed with masala and your favourite veggies. For all you vegetarians, I now have the best veg biryani for you! In fact, I was so inspired by the success of this Veg Biryani that I also have a Makhani Paneer Biryani for you to try.

Steps
I think you can excuse people for using any kind of rice for pulao, but a Hyderabadi style biryani demands basmati rice. Good quality basmati has long grains of rice, is aged and so aromatic. You might see many brands of rice labeled ‘long grain rice’, but make sure to look for 'basmati'. Basmati has long grains but every rice with long grains is not basmati.

Once the veggies are cooked, layering the biryani is extremely simple. You can chose to create 4 layers, alternating between cooked veggies and rice or like I do - just one layer with rice on top of the veggies. This is finished with ghee and saffron for both flavour and aroma.
9. The final step in making the biryani masala is to add yoghurt and garam masala to the cooked veggies and keep stir-frying for 2-3 minutes till the yoghurt completely disappears.
10. Add all the parboiled rice on top, gently making an even layer.
11. Drizzle saffron milk and ghee on top.
12. Cover and cook for 15 minutes on a low flame. If you don't have a heavy-bottomed pot, keep your pot on a tava or skillet with the flame on. This prevents the bottom from burning.
