Instructions
Preparation of Vegetable Mix
Chop the vegetable length wise. Wash the cauliflower florets in hot water and drain extra water in kitchen towel
Later take a wide vessel. Add all the veggies except onion, tomatoes.
Add yogurt, turmeric,chilli powder, coriander powder and garam masala powder. Mix everything together. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
Then heat ghee in a pan
Add saunf. Let it splutter
Add onions and saute until it is translucent. Add tomatoes, ginger garlic pieces. Saute for a minute
Add the marinated veggies
Add 1/2 tsp Salt and give it a mix. Do not add water
Let the veggies get half cooked. You can see the oil releasing in the pan. Turn off the stove and keep this mix aside
Preparation of Rice
Boil 4 cups of water in a vessel
Add oil, whole spices. Let it come to rolling boil
Add Rice
In exactly 7-8 minutes you will see Rice is half cooked
It will still look grainy. No worries at the end we will get the perfect texture for Biryani
Drain the water and keep it aside
Layering the Biryani
Since the quantity was less, I used my small cooker
Apply ghee or butter on the sides, bottome of the cooker. This will ensure rice to not get stuck at the bottom
Add the half cooked veggies mix
Add some rice on top
Add some fresh coriander leaves and mint leaves
Repeat it two times. At the end add the frozen peas, fried onion, splash the turmeric milk and lime juic
Seal the cooker with foil
Heat dosa tawa or a pan
Once it is hot place the cooker on the tawa
Leave it to get cooked for 12-15 minutes approximately. The timing may vary
So keep an eye and don’t let the rice to get overcooked
Later remove the cooker from heat and gently give it a mix
A closer look
Serve the delicious Dum Biryani with Raita
