VEGETABLE BIRYANI

VEGETABLE BIRYANI
Generally to cook good quality Basmati rice
need double quantity of water but for this recipe,
take only 1 1\2 times water, so that the end product will not look over cooked.

INGS: 1 Cut onion, 3- 4 tomatoes, 1-2 green chilly, 1 tsp ginger n garlic paste
1\2 tsp turmeric pd, 1 tsp red chilly pd, 1 tsp shahi biryani masala, 1\2 tsp
Garam masala,
1 1\2 cup Rice ( 2 1\2 cups water to cook). Add few cloves, cinnamon
stick, bay leaf and cardamom.
( add the spices while cooking rice also add some salt. Long cut vegetables like carrot, potato, french beans, cauli     
flower and some cabbage. Boil these vegetables with some
salt. Drain the water of the vegetables and sauté these in a
pan and sprinkle some salt and red chilly pd.
Soak few strands of Saffron in 2tsp of hot milk.
Slice one onion finely and fry in hot oil, drain on kitchen paper.
A greased baking dish, ghee to grease the dish.
METHOD: Cook the rice with the spices and some salt.

Grind in a mixer the tomato, onion, garlic and all the above
mentioned to a fine paste. Put a pan to heat, add oil and the
