How To Make not-so-spicy vegetable biriyani

  • Step 1
    Add the oil mixture to a large pan. When the oil gets heated, add the onion slices to the pan and fry the onions till they turn translucent for 10 min.
  • Step 2
    Now add all the vegetables, peanuts and the masala mixture and fry them all together stirring occasionally for 10 min.
  • Step 3
    Add the rice to the above mixture and saute the mixture for 5 min, till the rice turns a little crispy. Then add the coconut milk and water and give the mixture a stir.
  • Step 4
    Now do open-gas-top-cooking for the biriyani for about 20-25 min till all the vegetables and rice boils and combine to form a thick and moist rice delicacy and remove from heat. Garnish/stir in the cilantro leaves while hot.
  • Step 5
    For best results, serve the Biryani once it has cooled to ensure the complete absorption of all the flavors.
