instant biryani recipe | instant veg biryani | easy vegetable biryani with detailed photo and video recipe. traditionally biryani recipes are prepared with either dum style of cooking or cooking the rice and biryani curry together in a pot. but this recipe is very similar to a fried rice or pulav where cooked rice or leftover rice is mixed with biryani paste.
on the other day i was finalising my menu for my party and i was planning to order few curries through a caterer. but there was this new fast food indian restaurant which opened recently and my husband asked to give a try. so we went to this place and ordered veg biryani as a trail. basically he has a open kitchen and started to prepare the vegetable biryani by sauteing the vegetables. i was always under the impression that biryani’s are always pre cooked in restaurants and preheat them before serving. but this was totally new and i really liked the concept and i had already planned to post the instant veg biryani with a video.
some important tips and suggestions for a perfect and tasty instant easy vegetable biryani recipe. firstly, chop the veggies comparatively smaller in size so that it is easy and fast to cook in a pan. you can also add frozen veggies like beans, cauliflower and peas. secondly, biryani powder is very critical in this recipe and it has to be fresh and aromatic. i have used my homemade biryani powder, but if you are planning store bought make sure to check the expiry date. lastly, i highly recommend to use biryani rice or basamati rice for this recipe. sona masuri or daily eatable rice is not recommended!
