How To Make Vegetable Biryani
Hi guys today I bring to your kitchen a beautiful aromatic vegetable biryani
well biryani for the uninitiated is a portion delicacy which has got to India by
the Mughals let's first start making the rice for the biryani some foil 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 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 I'm just lightly
stirring this making sure the rice grains do not break and they're then we wait
for the rice to get half done you let me quickly check the rice so here it is 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 just adding in a little saffron
color now that the biryani rice is ready let's start making the 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 pepper corn cinnamon
cardamon 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 little bit
of yogurt giving it a 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 this
is the pan 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 do
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 ten minutes so just on a very low flame you put a lid on top
of this Brioni and then what would be ready is your beautiful vegetable biryani
now that the 10 meds 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 so there I have 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......
