Vegetable Biryani is a quick and easy one pot meal that you can make for lunch.You need to plan few things before hand like making ginger garlic paste,chopping veggies and making the spice powder ready,then making biriyani is so easy.I always follow
ammas biryani recipe, but through the years have adapted few other recipes which are easy and quick too and once such method is this one.Chettinad Cuisine uses special ingredients and freshly ground spices which lends a unique flavour, this biryani is the best example for it as it was very well received by all at home.We had it with onion raita, will post it soon.The ingredients and method seems a bit long, but once you get the ingredients ready making is very easy.
