donne biriyani recipe | veg dhonne biriyani | nati style veg biryani with step by step photo and video recipe. rice based biriyani recipe has become a cult and craze, especially in tier-one urban cities. it has led to many variations, inventions and even extensions to it using the locally available ingredients, vegetables and herbs. one such hugely popular from bangalore street is the donne biriyani recipe which is known for its meat variation but this recipe post talks about the veg alternative.

there are myriad ways to prepare biriyani recipes across indian if not in the south-east asia. by keeping the same ingredients and the rice, there are different styles and different tastes to a simple biriyani recipe. this is one such variation from the bangalore cuisine. as matter of fact, the meat variant of this recipe is sold in the early morning for breakfast in the outskirts of bangalore. there would be a big queue just to get one portion of this and it quickly runs out within 6 to 7 am in the morning. moreover, donne biriyani recipe is not sold every day and only on selected days. the killer taste for this recipe is mainly derived from locally sourced ingredients. the ginger, garlic, mint, coriander, fenugreek are locally grown and used for this recipe. even the meat is locally farmed and sourced especially for this recipe. that’s how the recipe name of nati style is derived which means local village style. i have tried to mimic the style, but i guess the meat-eaters would not approve of this variant with veggies.

furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variations to the donne biriyani recipe. firstly, the combination of herbs like mint leaves, coriander leaves and fenugreek is an important source of flavour for this recipe. if you do not have this, you may avoid preparing this variant and make the traditional dum biriyani recipe. secondly, i have specifically used jeerga samba rice for this recipe and that’s what is generally used in nati style. yet, you may use other types of rice variants like sona masuri or ponni raw rice for the same effect. lastly, once the biriyani is prepared, it tastes great when rested for a while. it helps the rice to absorb all the flavour and tastes great. also, you may follow the same procedure to prepare a meat variant of donne biriyani.
