The vegetarian version of the Biryani is usually made with a variety of easily available ingredients such as peas, cauliflower, carrots and capsicum.
This vegetarian recipe is the closest I could  get to the all time favourite chicken or Mutton Biryani.It tastes awesome.This recipe is a treat to all the vegetarians who miss out on the heavenly experience of relishing the Biryani.
Ingredients:

  • Mixed diced vegetables-3cups
  • Rice-3cups
  • Oil-1cup
  • Sliced onions-1cup

  • Ginger garlic paste-4tsp

  • Red chilli powder-2tsp
  • Garam masala-1tsp
  • Thick curds-2cups
  • Chopped mint leaves-1cup
  • Salt-to taste
  • Ghee-2tbsp


Heat oil.Fry onions,green chillies and salt till golden brown.
Add the ginger garlic paste and saute for 2 mins.
Add tomatoes,red chilli powder,corriander powder and garam masala.
Add curds and mint leaves and let it boil for 3-4mins.
Simmer flame,close lid and let it cook till almost cooked.Check salt
Boil enough water for the rice to be drained.
Add soaked rice,salt ,a tsp oil  and boil till the rice is half cooked.Drain.
Spread a layer of rice in a wide,heavy bottomed pan and spread a layer of the gravy over it.
 Repeat the same staps again finally ending with a layer of rice on top.
