“Go vegetable-heavy. Reverse the psychology of your plate by making meat the side dish and vegetables the main course.” 😉
Having said that presenting a vegetarian main dish here. It is an easy vegetable dum biriyani. Just note that it’s actually difficult to make tasty vegetable biriyani than non-veg biriyani. So follow each and every step carefully.
Please do not skip the “dum step”. It adds the actual flavour to your biriyani. While serving, garnish with masala potatoes which I have mentioned in the last part of the method.
