I have posted several rice-based recipes, particularly pulao recipes or biryani recipes. But this veg tehri recipe or veg tehari recipe is very unique and is different from other rice-based recipes. The tahri recipe is prepared by the Muslim community as a vegetarian dish with no meat. In other words, it is one such rare recipe made during meat is prohibited. This dish is mainly prepared with potatoes, preferably with baby potatoes and dry spices. But there are several variations to this simple rice recipe which is prepared with a choice of vegetables. I like it with potatoes and other vegetables but it is completely open-ended and can be experimented with easily.

The recipe is very easy to prepare, yet some easy tips and suggestions while preparing the veg tahari recipe. Firstly, I would heavily recommend using basmati rice and do not experiment with other rice. I have tried this once with Sona Masuri rice and was manageable but not great. Secondly, the traditional recipe does not deal with other vegetables or leafy veggies. But as an experiment, you can add finely chopped dill leaves and also some palak leaves. Lastly, you do not require any side dish served with this rice recipe. But tastes amazing when served with a choice of raita or mirchi ka salan recipe.
