Vegetable Biryani Recipe In Details :

Hi, guys welcome to Foodlife. Today I bring to your kitchen a beautiful aromatic vegetable biryani. Well, biryani for the uninitiated is a portion delicacy that has got to India by the Mughals.

Rice Preparation :

let's first start making the rice for the biryani some oil like a tablespoon or so and I'm adding in some fresh garam masalas, once the garam masala slightly starts spluttering I am going to add in some dried onions just stir it lightly and immediately what goes in next is a pot of boiling water to add, so that goes in the next thing that goes in is some salt and a tablespoon of yogurt give this a light stir and we shall wait for this to start boiling. 

Once it starts boiling goes in the soap rice so have some beautiful long grain rice here I have soaked it for some 20 minutes, I'm adding in rice and lightly stirring this making sure the rice grains do not break and they're then we wait for the rice to get half-done.

 

Let me quickly check the rice so, this is what I mean by partially cooked or half-done rice where the grain is still a little raw while it is still a little cooked so here we go.

Now that rice is partially cooked I'm moving this and straining this into a colander now that the rice is parboiled drained and ready I'm just adding in a little bit of yellow color. You can also use in Safran well this is an optional step but it just makes it look a little more biryani like. Now that the biryani rice is ready let's start making the vegetable preparation

Vegetable preparation:

So the first thing is a little bit of oil next that goes in some whole garam masala whole spices so I have some cloves peppercorn, cinnamon, cardamom and black cardamom that goes in here as soon as that starts emitting a beautiful aroma, goes in the fried onions lightly sauteing them, make sure it does not burn, so once these onions get a nice and beautiful golden brown color, I'm going to add in some chopped tomatoes.

Now I'm adding in the spices first that goes in is some turmeric red chilli powder and salt giving it a light stir. what goes in next is some cauliflower, I have French beans some carrots and a little bit of yogurt giving it light stuff, adding in some water to make sure the vegetables start cooking lightly okay and do not forget to add in some tender green peas.

Now the vegetables are done, I'm placing them in a bigger pan and in which we are now assembling a beautiful vegetable biryani just setting it a little and I am placing some chunks of cottage cheese on top of the vegetables. Now what goes on top is this, rice that has been sitting your gloriously right on top of the vegetables there make sure the grains of rice does not break. Just moving it lightly make sure you do not press this because we do not want the rice grains to break at all and now I am placing this whole thing on done for five to 10 minutes so just on a very low flame. You put a lid on top of this Biryani and then what would be ready is your beautiful vegetable biryani.

Now that the 10 minutes are done just switching the flame off and let's check how beautiful a biryani looks so, now that the biryani is ready I am just transferring this into a serving bowl.

I'm garnishing this with some fried onion, some fresh pomegranate seeds, and some fresh mint leaves. Now that a beautiful vegetable biryani is ready. Do try it at home and let us know how you like it. Please follow the FOODLIFE.IN
