Hyderabadi Veg Biryani

Hyderabadi Veg Biryani

Hyderabadi Veg Biryani is a very popular traditional and authentic delicious royal dish. Historically Hyderabadi Veg Biryani came in India from Mughal (Navab Family), and the origin of biryani is from Hyderabad State (Nizam State). In North India, it is traditionally associated with the Bengali cuisine of Bengal, Mughlai cuisine of Delhi, the Awadhi cuisine of Lucknow and in South India, it is traditionally associated with the Hyderabadi cuisine.

Although originally Biryani cooked with meat, but it can be also cooked with vegetables called Hyderabadi Veg Biryani, especially in India, where a substantial number of people practice vegetarianism. The Hyderabadi Veg Biryani is prepared with rice, masala and non-meat ingredients such as potatoes and cauliflowers. Hyderabadi Veg Biryani is having mixed vegetables marinated in spicy yogurt and made with steamed rice.

Tips:

• Do not cook rice over or fully, while cooking.

• You can use vegetable of your choice.

• While processing Biryani you can even bake on 400 F/180 C degree in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.

• If you don’t have food color, you can skip it. I just used because colors makes biryani colorful.

• Always cook Biryani on low flame.

Green Chutney This coriander-based Green Chutney i Green Chutney
This coriander-based Green Chutney is very tasty and quick. It can be prepared in few minutes. Mint adds freshness to this Chutney and addition of lemon juice enhances the flavors of mint and coriander and prevent discoloration of the greens. This Chutney is probably the most favorite Indian accompaniment. It is great for sandwich spreads, perfect with Crispy samosas, Dhokla or chaat etc.

Vada Pav is a famous street food of Mumbai, life o Vada Pav is a famous street food of Mumbai, life of Mumbai. you can say Vada Pav is an affordable food/snack for anybody in Mumbai. As a Mumbaikar Vada Pav is my any time favorite snack.
Vada Pav, like Pav Bhaji, was invented in Mumbai. The creation of the dish is credited to Ashok Vaidya, a snack vendor who ran a street stall just outside Dadar station. Being a major commuter hub and an important station, it was seldom uncrowded. To be innovative and unique, Vaidya reportedly came up with this recipe in 70’s to kill the hunger of the ever-moving commuters who looked like they were in desperate need of a snack that they could eat on the go.
