Preparation  :



Caramelising the onions : 

  • Heat groundnut oil in a thick bottomed pan
  • Add the long pieces of onions and fry on a low flame
  • Keep stirring regularly
  • When the onions turn golden brown strain them out.
  • Let them cool by spreading them loosely on tissue paper.

Biryani preparation :


  • Veg Biriyani needs water in the ratio of 1:1.3 so that the grains are cooked separately.
  • Wash the basmati rice, strain water and keep for 30 minutes.
  • The veg biriyani has to be cooked directly in cooker on a very low heat.
  • Heat the cooker
  • Put 3 tablespoons of ghee
  • Put Bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, black pepper and jeera and saute for a few seconds
  • Add finely chopped onions and saute till onions become translucent
  • Add garlic Ginger paste and mix well
  • Put in all the vegetables including peas and saute for a few minutes
  • When the veggies become a little soft, add curds.



  • Then add red chilli powder, jeera power, turmeric powder, biriyani masala powder, salt and mix well and spread evenly.
  • Put in half of the caramelised onion, finely chopped coriander, coarsely chopped mint leaves.
  • Now spread the soaked basmati rice evenly covering the vegetables.
  • Sprinkle a teaspoon on biriyani masala, balance half of the caramelised onion, 1 tablespoon of ghee, few more coriander and mint leaves, pour water into the cooker on all sides, add soaked saffron and cover the lid and put the weight.
  • Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes on a very low heat. There is no need to wait for the whistles or cook on high heat as it will burn the biriyani in the bottom.
  • When steam clears, mix the biriyani well and serve hot with raita.
