This is
a delicious Biryani (spiced rice dish) which is the perfect main meal and a
classic Indian restaurant favorite. It helps the spices to infuse the rice, and
creates a wonderful aromatic favour. Indian food is filled with the rich, savory and
healthy spices that we need to add to our everyday meals.
However, during the
week when we’re tired and rushed, it’s can be hard to find the inspiration.
Even though our pantries are crammed full, our minds still come up a blank. Not
to worry, here’s a fast and flavorful idea for Simple Vegetable Biryani. I’ve
made this biryani with cauliflower, carrots and potato, but feel free to
mix it up with other flavours also.
