This vegetarian biryani uses loads of chopped vegetables such as carrots, french beans and potatoes to prepare the mixture that is layered between rice flavoured with whole garam masalas.
You could remove the garam masalas from the rice before layering if required. Topping this biryani with some chopped dry fruits before serving would enhance its appearance and taste.
Enjoy this biryani with a bowl of curds or a raita and papad.
Biryanis also make a hearty one-dish meal .You can also try other biryanis like Hyderabadi Sofiyani Biryani or Minty Paneer Biryani .
