How to Make Veg Biryani: Step-by-Step Guide

First, take a deep pot (like a degchi or patila), add the rice, and boil it.

While the rice is boiling, chop the fresh vegetables into small pieces.

Next, chop the onion, garlic, fresh coriander, and green chillies and set them aside for later.

Now, take a frying pan or a kadhai (wok) and heat some oil in it. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté them well.

As the onions and garlic start turning golden, add the rest of the chopped vegetables and fry them too.

After frying everything, add all the spices-including turmeric, coriander powder, and red chilli powder. Also, add salt to taste and sauté the mixture.

Once this mixture is well-cooked and ready, take it out in a bowl.

Now, spread a layer of rice over the remaining mixture in the pan.

After that, add another layer of the cooked vegetables on top of the rice, followed by a final layer of rice, and then cover the pan.

You don’t need to do anything else now, just let the pan cook on medium heat for another 5-7 minutes.

When the time is up, garnish with fresh coriander and serve. You can also enjoy this dish with raita.
