VEGETABLE BIRYANI - OPEN POT METHOD

Yum
Hi friends, hope you all enjoyed the weekend. The year, 2013 is going to complete, right? The year has got over very fast. I hope you all planned for Christmas and New Year celebrations… I have announced Show Your Styles to the World – SYS-W series on SYS-W FB group. Members will be knowing that, if you also want to participate on the series, plz leave you FB id on comment box. This month will be sweets/desserts special to send off 2013 and Christmas festival.


Coming to the recipe, am going to post VEGETABLE BIRYANI… Biryani is all time favourite to us, right?? I prepared the biryani with mixed vegetables with homemade spice powder (CCC Powder) and fresh coconut milk. It’s one pot meal, I prepared the biryani in open pot method and it was come out really delicious. This time I prepared the biryani with basmati rice, but our favourite rice for biryani is seeraga samba rice which will give unique taste to the biryani…Check out veg and non-veg biryani with seeraga samba rice.
