Vegetable Biryani

Vegetable Biryani
Vegetable Biryani is a fragrant rice dish made with basmati or long-grain rice, mixed vegetables, and biryani spices. This Instant Pot version of vegetable biryani is a celebration of exotic flavors, vibrant colors, and pleasing aromas, all infused into a pot of deliciousness.

Preparation time: 15 min


Cooking time: 15 min


Resting time: N/A


Total time: 30 min


Serves: 4

Ingredients:

- 1 cup Basmati Rice


- ½ cup Green Peas


- 1 cup Green Capsicum (diced)


- ½ cup Onions (thinly sliced)


- 1 teaspoon Salt (for cooking rice)


- 4 cups Water


- 1 cup Carrots (cubed)


- 3 teaspoons Clarified Butter or Ghee


- ½ cup French Beans (cut into ½-inch pieces)


- ½ Lemon (juice)


- ½ cup Potatoes (cut into halves)

Spices:



- ½ teaspoon Red Chilli Powder


- 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder


- 1 teaspoon Salt to Taste


- ½ teaspoon Kasoori Methi


- 2 teaspoons Ginger-Green Chilli Paste


- 1 teaspoon Garlic Paste


- ½ teaspoon Turmeric Powder

Method:

- If cooking your rice in a pot, use a deep-bottomed pan and add 4 cups of water. Let the water boil over medium heat.


- When the water is hot, add 1 teaspoon of salt and continue boiling over high heat.


- Add the rice to the boiling, salty water in the pot and add lemon juice to keep the rice white and prevent it from turning yellow.


- Cook the rice until it is slightly undercooked, about 75% or ¾ of the way cooked.

For the Biryani:

- Heat a pan over medium heat, add ghee, and allow it to melt. Then, add sliced onions and sauté for a while.


- Add the boiled vegetables (carrots, French beans, and peas) followed by small diced capsicum.


- Sauté the vegetables until they are properly coated with ghee. Add garlic paste, ginger, and green chili paste, and then add all the dry spices one by one.


- Gently mix everything without smashing the boiled vegetables. Add the fried halved potatoes and cooked basmati rice. Mix everything well. Add fried brown onions to enhance the biryani flavor.


- Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with chilled cucumber and onion raita.

Notes:


For added flavor, you can also add a pinch of saffron soaked in warm milk to the rice before cooking. This will give your biryani a rich aroma and a beautiful yellow color.
