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.

Hyderabadi Veg Biryani

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.

Sprouted Moong curry is healthy, nutritious and ha Sprouted Moong curry is healthy, nutritious and has an excellent fresh flavor with full of protein. They can be cooked in several ways, I made this in coconut gravy. You just need to soak whole moong bean overnight, then drain it and left it in a warm place with covered cloth, so that they can easily start sprouting. It is a delicious, quick and one pot curry. It can be eaten with roti, steamed rice or paratha.
